Except Reddit made its own app. If it is not designed for that then why try to push it. The Reddit API is not stopping apps working. It is the financial cost that is stopping them work. Something Reddit’s own crappy app does not have to endure.
Not only did they make their own app, but there was an 11 year gap between launching Reddit (2005, granted smartphones weren’t a thing then) and when they launched their Official app (2016, well into the smartphone era exploding). And Reddit bought the iOS 3rd party Reddit app Alien Blue in 2014. It’s crazy of him trying to push the story that Reddit was never intended to be used by 3rd party apps.
