    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?

      I mean Spez was ghost editing comments at one point and is trying to blackmail the creator of Apollo. He’s not a person of good character.

        Yep. Even if Spez rolled everything back, he destroyed all trust we had in Reddit. No going back from that…

          For sure. Now we just have to wait and see how the community reacts July 1st.
