Bullshit. I’ve been using third party apps before the official one ever existed

The official app was a third party app until Reddit bought it.

Before I switched over here and this situation started getting big, I saw a post over on Reddit that explained how the "official" Reddit app was actually a third party app that they bought out...

Yup. They bought Alien Blue, swapped the logo colour to orange, made it the official logo and called it a day.

This is not true. They also stripped out a shit ton of functionality.

I was using Boost for Reddit, and I was always overwhelmed by the customization options. Absolutely loved it though.
