Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

      There’s plenty of newer Reddit users that got in when the official mobile app and the new theme was default. They got used to it and never cared about the death of third party apps or the eventual downfall of old.reddit.

      There’s a few third-party apps that have been granted exemptions from the API pricing changes, but other than that the majority of users are using the official reddit app or “new” reddit website because they don’t know any better.
