A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You can't throw out an enormous number like that without further explanation or a source at least. The only post I found on my first Google search is from a reddit post (6 days ago) where it's said that reddit reports about 5% of its users coming from third party apps.

Apollo also reported having around 1.2M users while not being a small app at all.

So with 400M MAU as the lowest possible amount of users, somehow all others 3rd party apps have over 118M users between them?

I could believe 30% of users being old.reddit ones due to it not being axed after all those years. But for mobile apps, that 5% quote seems the most realistic.
