I do not believe the claim. At the moment there is a war between reddit users and reddit managment. The managment is looking to IPO and so is trying to demonstrate its ability to wrench profits. The users are reacting through demonstrations of thier power to impact shareholder value. This hacking claim falls squarely into the later: it threatens shareholder value by introducing uncertainty. I will need to see solid evidence to be convinced.
- adaml_623 3y agoNo there is a war between Reddit management and a number of Reddit users. A certain proportion of users do not care about the API at all.
- Gualdrapo 3y agoThey won't care until the effects affect them.
- guraf 3y agoBarely anyone will be affected. Redditors are being used as pawns by the third party devs in their fight to maintain their free loading existence. Which was easy, social media is good at riling up people for made up reasons. Reddit has several hundred million users, and even more anonymous visitors. The two biggest third party apps have 1.5M users combined.
