I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am, at how hard spez tried multiple times to push his spin about reddit was subsidizing "competitors" for so many years, so this is only fair! :'< The entire interview just comes across as defensive, cranky, and snide.
I got the vibe that his belief is that the users of 3PAs have somehow "betrayed" reddit by having the audacity to not use the official app. Then saying that 3PAs don't bring anything of value to reddit, reeks of jealousy. I started using BaconReader long before there was a official app. I can guarantee that reddit would not have become as habitual for me if not for those apps, and I'd guess that's the case for others here too. I was really hopeful the blackout would encourage reddit to work out some compromise so then I could enjoy going back to the site. The more of these comments I hear though the less appealing re-joining reddit seems.
