I'm a pretty active user on the site and I almost exclusively use 3rd party apps because their official apps suck ass.

I'm talking about active in the sense of at least 30 comments a day and 15 posts since the beginning of this year.

I would guess that most power users and mods are using a 3rd party client. So they would lose a lot of users who create content and many communities will die.

Not to mention that they basically want to kill all of NSFW reddit so these communities will die too.

Thanks for pointing that out, I haven't had this view angle because I just lurk and don't post.
