People appear to really love these apps. And, apparently, they think Reddit itself is not offering the experience they’re looking for. People talk about leaving the platform because they can’t use these apps. So if Reddit is going to shut down these apps, you’re going to lose people who loved Reddit, and that still doesn’t quite make sense. So I guess I’m wondering why hasn’t there been...&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;90-plus percent of Reddit users are on our platform, contributing, and are monetized either through ads or Reddit Premium. Why would we subsidize this small group? Why would we effectively pay them to use Reddit but not everybody else who also contributes to Reddit? Does that make sense?&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free. And that free comes at the expense of our other users and our business. That’s what this is about. It can’t be free.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.theverge.com&amp;#x2F;2023&amp;#x2F;6&amp;#x2F;15&amp;#x2F;23762868&amp;#x2F;reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-interview&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.theverge.com&amp;#x2F;2023&amp;#x2F;6&amp;#x2F;15&amp;#x2F;23762868&amp;#x2F;reddit-ceo-steve...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;The entire article is just so bizarre and needlessly hostile that I&amp;#x27;m amazed they&amp;#x27;re allowing him to do interviews.</text></comment>
