He also claimed most mods don't use 3rd party apps:

The big issue is you can hide a lot in statements like that.
I can't find super trustworthy numbers (and I can't verify this due to that), but if there are about 3.4m subs and only 140k of them are active, every single active sub could have a mod that uses a 3rd party app and you could still claim "the vast majority" don't use them.
I also find it fairly interesting he would quote a percentage for users, but not for mods.
