View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
But they won't make money from it if those apps disappear either.
So the options are - don't make money from it and keep those users, or don't make money from it and lose those users.
The only difference seems to be that they'd lose a bunch of people, which is more likely to be mods or longer-term users, since they've bothered getting involved enough to find 3rd party apps that enhance their personal experience.
There's no benefit for Reddit to lose those people, and even potential problematic loss if they're gone.

I doubt 100% of third party app users would just stop using Reddit. Most of us will probably go back to the shitty, ad ridden main app.

Third-party apps don't display Reddit ads.
