So, the users who are actually creating value for the site. And spez keeps antagonizing them, even though by all indications, 90%+ of the userbase will never use anything but the first-party Reddit app? This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

He also claimed most mods don't use 3rd party apps:

> Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site. He said "the vast majority" of moderators also do not rely on third-party apps.

The big issue is you can hide a lot in statements like that.

I can't find super trustworthy numbers (and I can't verify this due to that), but if there are about 3.4m subs and only 140k of them are active, every single active sub could have a mod that uses a 3rd party app and you could still claim "the vast majority" don't use them.

I also find it fairly interesting he would quote a percentage for users, but not for mods.

Yeah there's a lot of different ways to count something like that to get the result you want. Torture the numbers and they will confess.

Most mods seem to use the old.reddit.com website, possibly utilizing Mod Toolbox as well. It seems most mods do not use an app for moderating at all.
