We'll see how much longer the API lasts. reddit knows that if they kill that, they may trigger a digg-style user migration. It's also why they keep the "old" version of the site around.
- jdgoesmarching 5y agoI’ve been saying for years that the degradation and eventual removal of their API is inevitable. Their app keeps getting worse, their business keeps relying on the ads that make it worse, and every complaint thread is free advertising for other apps.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoa lot of people (and I mean a LOT) hate the "new" reddit website and will look elsewhere if they limit the API (or do away with it entirely) for clients like slide, RIF, apollo, Sync, etc
- busymom0 5y agoI have pretty much stopped visiting reddit except for questions regarding iOS programming. Their website and mobile site is complete crap. Apollo is a decent iOS app alternative and if they kill the API, it's over for them.
