Reddit managed pretty well, let’s be real. The 3rd party app protests were essentially a speed bump that lost a tiny subsection of users that advertisers didn’t want anyways. Everyone else just migrated to the official app or website.

In their defense, advertisers weren't seeing those same people.

You can still use third party apps, they are just not in the playstore. Just like with YouTube right now
