That's naive. Pushing 3rd party apps out isn't about the costs to reddit, it's the opportunity costs of not being able to mine data from users, and is likely being driven by Steve Huffingpaint in the hopes of driving up the IPO price before bailing on reddit with a golden parachute.
Current reddit admins don't give a shit about the long term health of the platform, and the fact that people believe their lies about costs instead of seeing that theyre playing the user base just like they did back with Pao.
