Obviously they needed one app to be saved to tell people “see, just work with us and you can keep operating”. But is there a reason behind choosing that specific app, or did they just take a random one?

    I’m a bit more cynical, given the circumstances. When I read Red Reader was getting an exception I checked it out and, as a general purpose Reddit app for Android, I found it clunky in comparison to apps like Infinity and Boost. I wonder if that was the actual rationale, i.e. choose an app that’s not as appealing an alternative to the official app so that you can cite it as justification that you are listening to app developers who “do it right” with respect to open source, accessibility etc.
