Why should I care? I use the official app.
Well for one thing you might care one day, but you won’t have that option any longer, because reddit is removing user choice. People who love reddit so much they seek out another app for it submit a lot of good posts to reddit that you read. What if these good posters all leave the site? What if half of them leave? Are you cool with less content to upvote? What if reddit does something else like pump tons of ads at you– way more than now – and you want to try out one of those apps you saw when you first downloaded the official app. You simply won’t be able to anymore. But even if you still don’t care, don’t you think user choice is generally a good thing? What will they get rid of next? Also, NSFW content is in danger, and can no longer be accessed through the API which is going to make it harder to find spammers.
This is why. There are countless examples of companies taking inches at a time until they leave you with no choice or alternatives.
Also, don’t you dare mess with my NSFW content.

I'm actually surprised I've not seen more backlash from these subs. Reddit is a hub for all sorts of things, including businesses. Blocking NSFW content is going to hurt a lot of people financially.
