I would have thought most people would be using an app. Most people access the Internet through their phone.
Yeah, I'm not buying Reddit's statistics. 90%+ of mod actions on desktop web and official app? I can see plenty of use for old Reddit, but they have locked quite a few mod actions behind the new interface recently. Likewise the more and more spez feels the need to mention that there was no real consequence from the blackout makes me question the validity of that statement. We're all aware what a lying jackass he is.
I'm sure that the majority of people will continue to use Reddit regardless. I'm just not sure that the majority is as major as they are presenting it to be.
I think a lot of mods probably use RES on desktop, which will still be functional after this. But yeah, statistics say that 3PA are only used by about 5-10% of users
Agreed. they also know RES only works as long as old.reddit.com works, and once that's done, desktop is shit.
Once they kill third party they will go for old reddit. Definitely
RES said they weren't sure how it would be effected by the API changes. It could be fine, it could break some stuff.
They also aren't really developing it anymore. The maintenance team is down to two people on their spare time. They aren't going to fix what Reddit breaks at this point.
