    Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.

    “And the opportunity cost of not having those users on our platform, on our advertising platform, is really significant,”

    By “significant”, he means 3%??? That is not factoring how much profit these 3% of people’s content can provide.

    So all of these fuzz just to have a one time increase of less than 3% of the profit, even at the cost of more than a million (57 million * 3%) user’s privacy, that is freaking ridiculous.
