This is hilarious to say considering reddit:

a) has had an api to support 3rd party apps since the beginning
b) went more than a decade before making a 1st party app
c) the 1st party app is literally based on a 3rd party app they bought out

this is what's funny to me as well. The website was basically unusable on mobile, and 3rd parties stepped in to make it functional, bringing more users in the process. And now they're trying to retcon history? Everything this guy says is bullshit
