If they had just done the obvious thing and made ad-free 3rd party API access depend on a subscription fee, then I would have just paid it and wouldn't be here. But no, they have to do everything the worst way possible.

Wait I don't understand, didn't they do exactly that? Just the pricing was outrageous

No, they are charging the app devs instead of the users directly (who would then be free to use Any app, and the apps would have remained as they were: ad-supported or paid or whatever)

To this day I still dont understand why they didnt do it this way.

Oh well, at least now we are on a platform which has a future.

Reddit being on the stock market... Like what the actual fuck...
