> A lot of people use third-party apps.

Where do you get this information from? And what is "a lot"?

I'd wager 99% of Reddit users (therefor, income) use the official reddit app and new website.

Yes! I think the difference is between people who use Reddit as a feed versus a forum. For a Hacker News audience seeking to engage with forum-like content, the new redesigns clearly do not fit their needs. However, to a general audience seeking to find a feed of content and interesting comment sections, the new redesigns are much more palatable.

That difference is important, because it's the first group that actually makes content.

Without those users, there is no platform.
