I think it would be amusing if Reddit did implode over this. It'd be entirely self-inflicted... The site is only usable with third party apps.
@Gargron @mastodonmigration Given that literally all value on Reddit is generated by user content, Spez ought to have been kissing the feet of apps like Apollo - they bring the users and keep them generating content, and therefore value. He could have monetized from those apps without killing them, but I guess he chose greed.
