I don't have the app installed but I'm assuming you can record video in it to post on Reddit? If that's the case I can see why it requires access to the microphone. That's the only way I could look at justifying it.

True. But why need all permissions upfront?

Security model should be automated. Request only when needed

Can't see why it needs all permissions upfront. Apps keep nagging u until we provide all permissions.

90% of my reddit usage is posting amd reading text. 10% is photo related. So browser is better for me.

I don't need an app to have all access when I upload photos once a month
