I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn’t want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.

Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?

    No, the reason I left Reddit last week has little to do with with third party app issue. I left because the CEO has shown he isn’t interested in listening or addressing community concerns.

      This. He’s just another arrogant authoritarian who doesn’t understand where Reddit’s value comes from. It’s the users who will decide if Reddit survives or not, NOT the CEO’s. We’ve seen this attitude before. Hollywood has been destroying franchises for years because they think they know better than the fans.
