Maybe so, but Reddit is not Twitter; API access is far more important for Reddit because its official client is garbage and can't handle the long-form content that Reddit is known for.

This will have outsized implications for the 1% of users who actually post the content the other 99% come to see in a way that Twitter (and its 280-character comment limitation) does not.

Isn’t Reddit widely known for memes by the public?

I don't think so? That's more 4chan AFAIK.

Most people have no problem with the official app. They simply don't care enough even if they acknowledge the drawbacks. We are not representative.
