And the fact that Reddit has literally dozens of apps across all of the mobile platforms. Having a mostly open API gave 3rd party developers the opportunity to create better interfaces to draw users into using Reddit.

When I first started using Reddit over 6 years ago, it was mostly desktop, but these days, probably 90% of my Reddit usage is mobile because I feel more productive (ironic) using a nicer interface with gesture support for voting and replying.

I would bet that there are a million+ users primarily on 3rd party mobile apps around the world who, if not more.
