  1. ~~This is not a proprietary app (in the first party terms, it's still a 3rd party app)~~
  • Yes Okay I get it, yes it's proprietary, but I'm saying everyone was gleefully using proprietary 3rd party apps on Reddit, Apollo was proprietary, RIF was proprietary, proprietary was not forced on anyone. 1st party apps were forced on us all.
