The funniest part of the article is how he's slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying "they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free".

not sure where the 3% metric is coming from but from what I understand, a big hit to "no 3rd party apps" is moderation tools - it'll make the larger subs more difficult to moderate - and will end up costing reddit $$$$ when the unpaid mods quit over it

If it's truly only 3% then that's all the more reason why deals could have been done with those app developers instead of dropping the bomb they did. It could have helped their bottom line while keeping their power users on side if they actually put some effort into communication with them.

Sadly that would mean they're looking at it as "only 3%" and just not giving a damn.
