This is the main reason I quit. The majority of my reddit traffic for about 10 years was through a 3rd party app. Reddit taking that away was basically a big “fuck you” to all the devs that worked tirelessly to give reddit that mobile traffic. These apps were free and relied on donations or premium purchases.
That decreased my usage by 90%, but ultimately that’s not the reason i stopped using it. It’s just a shitshow with a lot of really angry people. You can rarely have a proper conversation in your communities
Not until they undo their API pricing and allow third party apps again.
