With all the Reddit users effectively quitting because of the 3rd party app stupidity, why didn't Reddit make ad delivery part of the terms of API usage or some other solution? It's not like their costs go up because you access vi

I actually like working, minus the business/management BS. Current $job is very good. Would love a 5h/day expectation, though. I'd work 7pm to midnight and be more productive than 9-5.
