Except Reddit doesn't have a product if they don't have people reading it. The TERRIBLE UI and user experience means that a percentage of users will only use reddit via 3rd-party apps. Apollo is BY FAR the best client. This isn't capitalism, it's self-harm by stupidity. Reddit's only value is the user eyes and data. Remove the users and Reddit dies a quick death. Maybe they will still pull in users but having less value but charging more to drive away your Users sure seems like a dumb plan capitalism or not.
