      It’s so weird. User’s will complain like hell, but never actually stop being users.

      How is “competition” supposed to work if you’re not willing to to switch to a “competitor”? There’s no competition forcing a company to improve if you just really sternly tell them off, then continue being a customer regardless.

    “The changes in July made access to Reddit’s API too expensive for smaller third-party apps to maintain operations. This forced some to shut down, like Apollo, ReddPlanet, Sync, and BaconReader. These third-party apps were popular because many were available before an official Reddit app was created in 2016. They also offered accessibility options for the visually impaired that the official app doesn’t.”

    Right. This is exactly why everyone thought the 3rd party clients were better.
