To be fair, Reddit's mobile app is comically bad, and the prospect of having to use it might be akin to amputating two limbs, for some.


it really isnt, supported by the fact 95% of people use the official app.


Okay, do you have numbers for that? (honest question) Most "statistics" I have seen were done via a reddit survey, which 3rd party apps can't do due to API-limitations. So all the users sying "yes I use a 3rd party app" did so either via their mobile or workstation browser (where you have to auth again) which is a hassle most people (me included) are not willing to take for some random reddit survey.


They pretty much force you to use the app if you are on mobile (nag screens at best). Maybe there are ways to get around that but your average andy won’t bother
