Reddit also launched their own phone app YEARS after third party apps became popular. Like 5-6 years later. Presumably because they felt those apps were a good thing -- or at the very least not a bad thing.

As I understand it, reddit's official app was actually a 3rd party app that they bought out, so that just adds to the disingenuousness.

Yep, they bought out Alien Blue, basically Apollo's predecessor as the best iOS client.

And then they ruined it such that nobody could ever tell it was once a great client.
