This line jumped out at me from the article.
"Basically, what Huffman is saying is that the apps that are popular with the users who make Reddit valuable should go away because they aren't paying for access to the content the users are making while using those apps."
Huffman talks about "growing up" as a company, but he's acting like a kid in these interviews shifting the blame for the current problems on the 3rd party apps which he says "add no value". Huh?
- m-p-3 3y agoI subscribed to Reddit Premium as my way to repay the lack of ads I was seeing on 3PA, but now I've cancelled my subscription and I'll turn uBO back on. An easy solution, if they genuinely wanted to allow 3PA at a fair price (which I now doubt, from their stubbornness and contempt) for everyone, they'd have kept the API free for 3PA and add Reddit Premium as a requirement to use them, that way the developers don't have to foot a huge bill, and the end-user provide an alternative income source while not seeing ads. Congrats Reddit, you played yourself.
