Also free advertising, literally every news media outlet is talking about reddit right now.

Yet so few are actually talking about reddit alternatives, and how to actually leave the reddit plantation.

That's because they're all talk. No one is going to leave reddit, even if third party apps get banned, they are too far gone into addiction.

I think some people who a 3rd party app is their only access point, might leave for good, especially if they're already on the edge of leaving.

Especially since said people use 3rd party app's accessibility features that the Reddit app doesn't have.
