Reddit wants to kill 3PAs. What I don't understand is why they're going through the whole act of pretending that the API is going subscription when they're making it prohibitively expensive and only giving them a month to put it in place. Why not just be honest and shut it down to third parties entirely?
Simple, they hope some poor schmuck actually tries to make it work and instead of a reasonable split for the labour of the 3PA's dev they take basically all of it 🤪

Lol my guess is 0 response from spez until the normies start screaming about their apps not working.
Idgaf anymore after what came to light during the blackouts I will not return to Reddit
These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them

It seems like this is the only way that Reddit can slow the rise of the Fediverse to me. All of their official access channels (web/official app) pale in comparison to the usability of third party apps.
im confused why people a. think spez had enough control to make these decisions. b. that killing the 3rd party apps wasnt the point.
almost zero notice, exorbitant costs for stripped access...
there was never going to be a compromise. 'they' want to wall their garden, and thats all she wrote

Can't imagine what they could deliver that would bring Apollo or RIF back.
