    This is what’s amazing. They could make a good, ad-supported app, but they seem to insist they don’t need to while wondering why everyone’s angry about third party apps going away.

      Reddit never needed to fix their own hilariously-bad failure of an app, they could have just bought any of the ready-made, popular, beloved third-party apps out there for far less than this fiasco is costing them now. Old Twitter did this back in the day, some of their official clients started out as successful third-party apps.

      Spez is out there being an insane libelous asshole to Christian Selig when he could have just hired him.

      Yes, like I could give their beloved role model Instagram as an example. They very rarely prompt users to download their app in a small box on their website. And I still use the app because it’s so snappy.
      And they even have a Lite version (~2mb) in case their phone can’t handle the original app.
      This is such an interesting idea actually, spez please make a lite app. Look, Wall Street people have that as well!
