I’m curious about when the 3rd party apps stop working. I think a whole mass of users were really lost as to what was happening and why.
I was also surprised at the number of comments I saw of users who never used a 3rd party app. I felt bad for their experience. It’s like learning that someone doesn’t know what sunshine feels like on their skin, cause they’ve only seen it through glass block.
It’s going to take at least a month to really see the effects. Once the apps go dark on June 30th, the number of mods leaving will rise, and the spam, garbage and low-effort crap they were filtering out will quickly start creeping back. But it’s going to be a gradual thing and a slow decline, not some big abrupt meltdown.
Reddit’s one of the biggest and busiest websites on the planet, there’s a lot of inertia and it takes a while to even notice when something that big starts to list.
