I wonder if there's any data available on how much content was generated from 3rd party apps. in my experience, reddit was accessed solely through an app (rip baconreader). am I wrong in thinking that the users are the product and advertisers the customer?

You’re not wrong and this article really drove this home for me.

Especially how leadership really didn’t care about moderators having the tools they need to do the job they volunteered for.

They don’t care about the quality of the site, just that people keep posting so they can package up all that sweet sweet data for advertisers.

Think about all the little niche communities. I’m sure Reddit can link your username to your real identity internally. Imagine the profiles they can build and sell.

They don’t even care if you stop posting, it’s all there.
