What hint? Mobile is growing and Reddit is a business.

  The hint that we don’t need an app. What use is served by the app over the website? The only thing I can think of is that you can’t (easily) block ads on an app, but can in a browser (if it lets you). Sure, they’re in the business to make money, but if enough users leave because of the app and ads being shoved in their face, Reddit will start to make less money than they did without the app. It’s not gonna happen anytime soon, but it’ll happen eventually. Reddit won’t last forever, just like Digg and /. didn’t. Sure, they still exist, but (last I heard) their active user numbers keep going down.

  Mobile is huge and most people will consume Reddit via mobile. The flaw is that Reddit is also based upon content creation and these people don't use mobile to create or at least not their app.

    I happen to create on mobile, on Reddit all the time. Hate the app. Chrome or Firefox works just fine.
