When he says the API was never meant for viewing apps he's completely ignoring that for the longest time reddit didn't even have an official app.

And had to buy a 3rd party app themselves

Also, their official app is LITERALLY based on a third party app! When everything was transitioning to new reddit they tried to build an app and it was fucking terrible so they bought out the most successful third party reddit app for iOS; Alien Blue. Even if you go into the theme settings on the android app the default theme is still called Alien Blue.
