Reddit API Pricing Would Cost Apollo Developer $20M per Year
- metadat 3y agoExisting active discussion unfolding: Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36141083 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36141083 (152 comments)
- adamors 3y agoSomehow this is no longer on the frontpage ..
- mustacheemperor 3y ago@dang I refresh HN way too often and didn't even see this - 240 points, 152 comments, and it's on page 3 in position 81. What's up/can we merge all these threads? Edit: in particular asking because it's not visibly flagged
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- dang 3y agoI'll merge the threads but in the future if you want to get this information to us please use hn@ycombinator.com. "@dang" is a no-op and I only saw your comment by accident.
- mustacheemperor 3y agoThanks, will do in the future! Just curious, how’d that submission wind up so far downranked?
- dang 3y agoIt set off the flamewar detector a.k.a. the overheated discussion detector. Surprising as that may be for a reddit thread. I get to repeat my joke since if the earlier explanation wasn't seen, the joke wasn't seen either.
- mustacheemperor 3y agoHaha, and I appreciate you did.
- gary_0 3y agoTIL. I see so much "@dang" in HN threads I assumed it actually did something.
- theturtletalks 3y agoLiterally saw that post and it was gone seconds later. Kind of suspicious considering Reddit was a YC company.
- killingtime74 3y agoI see your point but that was 18 years ago. I wonder if they still have shares left
- theturtletalks 3y agoWell, they are about to IPO soon so I wouldn't rule out conflict of interests. I saw the link, clicked to read the Reddit post, when I came back, the link is gone. I had to search to find it and it had nearly 300 points. I see no reason to have flagged it since Christain and Apollo have done no wrong. He was telling his users that Reddit is effectively killing Apollo and he was allowed to disclose it.
- dang 3y agoSuch suspicions will be evergreen (everblack?) for as long as HN exists but no, we don't moderate HN that way. Lots of past explanation here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20moderate%20%22less%2C%20not%20more%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... I know it's no fun, but please try to remember that the overwhelming majority of the time, the explanations for these things are really boring and standard. In this case the thread set off the flamewar detector.
- WhatWorkingOn 3y agoNah, your "flame war detector" validates it. Am I expected to believe a site that looks a lot like Craigslist and has no extra features like email, favorites, etc. has the ability and competence to properly code a flame war detector? Or is it more likely there is a basic filter that blocks conversations against the interests of said party? Forums are transparent, when threads are locked /deleted / moderated it is egregiously obvious and publicly visible. HN operates Gestapo style and then tries to gaslight you that nothing happened.
- samwillis 3y agoI believe there are a number of domains that have a higher "gravity" as they tend to lead to unconstructive "flamey" threads. I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit is one of them.

- dang 3y agoJuan was taught from out the best edition, Expurgated by learnéd men, who place Judiciously, from out the schoolboy's vision, The grosser parts; but, fearful to deface Too much their modest bard by this omission, And pitying sore his mutilated case, They only add them all in an appendix, Which saves, in fact, the trouble of an index.
- dang 3y agoIt set off the flamewar detector. Surprising as that may be for a reddit thread! I'll turn that off and merge the threads momentarily.
- adamors 3y agoThank you!
