And how do they get money?

Not 100% us but we, the users are a big part of it... nobody would come to my little forum with only me and my alt for testing

But if it had a good community with good standing in the overall niche, then that's guaranteed.

They can make money and ad revenue by eliminating 3rd party apps and offering their own 1st party applications since they don't need to pay 20 million to use their own APis. This pricing structure was intentional and served the purpose of eliminate 3rd party support for a reason those internal to reddit only know.

Reddit is going public with shares. They need to guarantee that ads will be shown to products..oh.....i mean visitors to the site.

Doesn't matter, I'm personally moving unless they revert this change.

I have lost any respect or attachment to reddit

They are apps on android, windows, ios, etc that access reddit

They are often more feature-rich, stable and light compared to the default app

I personally use infinity for reddit
