TIL that 70% of US traffic on reddit is from users on a mobile device. - eviltoast

    That would be a reasonable assumption to make, with one big caveat: reddit originally had no official app, so third-party apps were our only options. If we suppose that people rarely change their habits until they’re forced to (a claim that seems almost self-evident to me), then it would be reasonable to suppose that a lot of users would still be using those same 3rd-party apps they started out with. Especially considering the official app was kind of crappy from its inception.

    If third-party app users made up a large percentage of users, it might also partly explain why spez is so hellbent on his crusade.
