But... 3rd-party apps are literally a free advertisement to the service which the app connects to?

These apps helped build early reddit and now reddit is pulling the ladder up after reaching the top.

Reddit also launched their own phone app YEARS after third party apps became popular. Like 5-6 years later. Presumably because they felt those apps were a good thing -- or at the very least not a bad thing.
