The unfortunate truth is that Reddit owns the platform and has an irrevocable license to the content that's already been produced.
Any protest that someone can think up will end up just getting Reverted as Reddit can just kick out the mods.
They'll get backlash, but that doesn't seem to be stopping anyone.
You know, they could just, you know, lower the cost of the API, create strict guidelines on how to get an exemption, and understand where the actual value of their platform is.
Too much to ask for an VC funded company though.
- spicybright 3y agoI think they already know what their value is: showing ads. 3rd party apps can easily block that, so it makes sense to shut them down from a value perspective.
