    This will be when the true test for Reddit begins; if the outcry is large enough that spez ends up relenting in some way then he will have already alienated a lot of users. If the outcry is minimal then I guess he won, but the prize hardly seems worth the drama that has been spun up.

      It isn’t going to be outcry, it is going to be drop in traffic. Spez is gambling that third party app users will switch to the official app. I won’t, and I hope most others don’t.
