Have you guys seen this? It's a campaign blaming the people that dare to want to use 3rd party apps. Don't forget, most of them are gone. There's no defending about why 3rd party apps are just better. Nope. It's the exact same as the covid propaganda, but proreddit this time.
Removing your own comments is being called, " destroying data".

It was probably all fake so they could do another giant bot system upgrade
fuck reddit. i told everyone about sitescroll. another online forum as well. we need all the places we can get these days.
How does it compare to lemmy?
it's the best one i have been on in a long time. im really enjoying sitescroll. spread the word around. those guys have shiiittt tons of info and threads. i honestly have NO clue how the hell they built that. really deep discussion too

I believe this is the main reason they are ditching the API access. Ad-Revenue.
That and I wonder how many neural nets were trained using their api. They might as well get in on that money.
Who knows, maybe it is part of a longer plan. Get rid of the free moderators so they can be replaced by a new and improved reddit safety team lmao.
Good riddance, the mods like hfx redditor who work at "online brand awareness" companies needs the boot.
I do hope this create a kinda of internet renaissance, where we see the revival of small sites/forums again.
Tranny stink eye
I'm not familiar with appropriate pricing, but it did seem like Reddit was asking for a lot of money that it was obvious that the intentions weren't exclusive to greed, but moreso control.
People have been mentioning things like IPO, monopolizing user data, or maybe disempowering the few woke mods who apparently have influence over most of Reddit, censoring anything they don't personally like. But no matter what angle, it doesn't seem too big of a deal whether the ship or the passengers go down over there.
Reddit has no expectation that they were working people people prepared. I discussed the price with my father that doesn't do social media, but does network engineering, and his first response was, " That can be millions of dollars!"
Clearly that price is NOT based in reality as they claim. Look what else I found.
