Title says it all. If you think Reddit’s been trending down lately, just wait.

    What Reddit fails to understand with their decades of industry experience and 2k employees is that without their users, they don’t have a product. Moderators work for free. Creators work for free. These people didn’t do it for Reddit. They did it for you and me.

    And then like three developers in their spare time ate their lunch.

      And yet, with all that supposed experience they still fail to maintain a decent platform.

      There’s a reason nobody uses their official app.

            Nah, nearly 90% of mobile users interact with Reddit via the official app (most people use Reddit on mobile devices).

                These numbers have been thrown around since the beginning of the protest. I don’t believe Reddit actually publishes that data (someone can come and correct me if wrong).

                I think what happened is someone did the math on downloads for all the 3PA (or maybe just just major ones) and compared it to active users.

                Fact is, no one knows just how many users used 3PA vs the official app except for reddit. Me thinks because the data doesn’t look good for them, otherwise why not back up all that boasting with numbers.
