Killing off third party apps was the entire point of those stupidly high API fees. This was always about control - having the only app, forcing users to use only that app, forcing them to accept the enshittification of the platform - but like many other platforms before it, it fails to remember that users can and have abandoned prior platforms. Remember Digg? It used to be the top dog. Now it’s circling the drain of irrelevancy after the vast majority of its users just up and left. All that’s left of them is 75 employees and less than $5M in revenue a year. 5 Million. Even Linus Tech Tips is a bigger company, and he’s just a YouTuber. Digg is Reddit’s future, if they continue to abuse their users.
