I’m not that bad. C’mon now.
Glances at fox news
C’MON NOW.
It really do be like that
No Fox, no! Don’t hurt my RiF!
The bastard. At least pay me for your mess.
Honestly, that’s not even the worst part of the whole API debaucle.
The issue with moderation tools alone is more than enough to shut their coffin shut, yet I don’t see reddit doing anything about that at all.
This is the issue.
We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation
So they are now going to make it so corporate shills can dilute the quality of their content with a whole lotta shit
They just want to sell ads. Corporate profit moment.
Why not just charge a reasonable amount for the api then? It’s more complicated than that I think.
they are doing it so they can show the investors that an API request costs A amount and each request earns B amount, and we get C amount of API requests a day so in theory they will earn C(B-A). which will be a larger number if B is bigger which is what they have changed recently. This is all about the IPO.
That makes more sense… But only if someone actually pays it. I don’t see anyone paying what they’re asking.
