Do you have a source for “a large portion of reddit contributors use 3rd party apps”? And what percent are we talking about here?

Here is a shot from a subreddit I moderate:

No idea how many of those apps are third party, but I would be willing to bet 'most' of them.

I’d be willing to be the opposite given how hard Reddit is pushing this. But like you said, it’s impossible to tell without a separate category for third party apps.

Most top-level reddit posts come from bots reposting old content. Those bots aren't using the first party app...

i know the pcgaming is around 20 percent which isn't a majority but it's enough to move somewhere else
