He can’t be citing real statistics. I don’t know 3% of their reported 57 million users but I do know that every person I know that uses reddit uses third party apps.
Someone on data is beautiful found that all third party apps accounted for only 10% of the official app downloads. Taking that into account, it is likely that the vast majority of Reddit users only use the official app and don’t know what the fuss is all about.
