I’d argue it is, because of the damage they’re doing to their brand.
I’ve said it in a couple other threads, but Reddit has other ways they can monetize their 3rd party app users, such as requiring subscriptions to use third party apps, or even by simply giving third party app devs a longer lead time to change to a paid model. Instead of doing either of those things, the CEO had a tantrum and alienated a bunch of people.

Again, I’m almost certain that the % of people who really care are very small.
I’m not trying to defend Reddit, I used Apollo and am part of that small % of people leaving.
It was pretty abrupt. One cannot help but wonder how much money the CEO has at stake, personally, in rushing things.
