I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.

    Doubt it. Most people who use a 3rd party app should be aware of the API changes already. If they are interested in the alternatives they would have tried by now.

    People who are still unaware of what’s going on even after the blackouts, would probably just download the official app.

      Perhaps. Or they are biding their time until the blackout then will actively be looking for an alternative.
