It wasn’t, and isn’t, about API pricing. 3Ps have repeatedly expressed their understanding in that regard. It was the exorbitant rates being charged, the 30 timeline given to make the changes, and the unwillingness of Reddit corporate to even take the money of those who expressed a willingness to pay.
All of this is a result of bad faith efforts from Reddit corporate which never would have happened had it been handled differently from the outset, or adjustments made at any point in the process. Instead, Huffman has chosen the “do or die” route.
- noirbot 3y agoI'm not sure the good wording for it, but it's sort of the "it's not the crime, it's the coverup" situation. Some small set of folks were mad about the original API stuff. The response to those people was so wild, acrimonious, and abusive that it pushed a lot of other people over the edge. I would probably have still been using Reddit today if it was just the API change, but at this point I've quit out of almost pure spite.
