With the recent Reddit stuff and YouTube stuff, I realized I’ve been using numerous third party apps or services. The question I have is why the decision and how such decisions would really benefit the company. As an random user, should I be worried about it or even go back to the official Apps just in case the third-party apps would be shut down in the future?

    I think the play is to force everyone onto the official app so we’re totally locked in. Then, they can enshittify it for maximum lucrativeness, and we won’t be able to switch away from it.
