You can use the reddit api (data connection to the servers) to display reddit in a different way (aka an app). Many people prefer those apps over the official app. So many that reddit is hiking up the cost of that api access.
I don't know if I'm on a side or not. I've always used the Reddit app and I've never had a problem with it, then I learn that third party apps are a thing. I've never used third party apps I didn't know existed, so if they're banned, and I'm just doing what I've always been doing, am I picking a side?
Im just anti Moderator and right now the Mods are shutting down access to reddits I want to see....so I am on reddits side and firmly anti-mod.
If I were reddit I think I could find out which power mods were most responsible for this "blackout" and permanently ban them from the platform. God, that would be so sweet!
Imagine you had access to the databases of info that reddit uses to display info to you. Because you have that access, you can make your own ways of displaying that data. An app. That access has been free/low-cost. Reddit is hiking the cost up. Because they want to force people to look at the data how they want them to.
If you go to a potential client for an ad and say you have 100 users--but only 40 of them look at official reddit--then that's fewer eyeballs on the ads. So you hike the price for data access to those app-makers to recoup what you think you're losing out on.
Am I among the many who doesn't know what exactly is happening on reddit?
UR NOT ALONE

Because there ain't any good reason to be on their side

Cuz its okay the site is okay except how it goes down sometimes
Why would I be? They're trying to take options from me not give them to me
I don’t care enough about Reddit to be on any side
I'm still confused and don't even understand what is going on. Idk what 3rd party apps even means?
