I am still on a blackout. And I canceled my paid Reddit account.
You can pay for Reddit?
Yes, you can, mainly for going ad-free. And if Reddit had simply given every subscriber a private API key for their account and let the 3rd party apps use user-supplied API keys, Reddit would have probably actually made more money without getting any serious API-related blowback.
Yeah but see, that would require the Reddit CEO not being a giant fucking moron. Instead, well, we got what we got. lmao
Haven't opened reddit since Monday.
I keep opening it but only to re-delete my posts. Gotta work eventually, right?
Are you using power delete? I've read that it's a bug of that. Take with grain of salt.
Haven't been on Reddit since last Thursday. And will only get on next week to collect what I can before I delete my 10 year account.
