I care. Charging for high API use wasn't an unreasonable move in principle, just, the details were bullshit and it got rolled out in a totally donkey brained way. But that wasn't necessarily a deal breaker for me in and of itself. I stopped using reddit because of the temper tantrum & threats that the admins threw at mods and their coordination efforts.

And anyway it's death by a thousand cuts. Over time, all these little changes to the platform slowly make it worse for the user. The big social media companies have completely lost touch. They're more concerned with these abstract concepts like engagement and growth, instead of focusing on nurturing a good place for users to be. Well, what do they think? That the users are hostage? That we can't leave?

I hope nobody forgets how the CEO of reddit tried to slander Apollo's creator saying he tried to blackmail them for millions of dollars, and then evidence was brought that showed he is a liar (didn't realize the call was recorded)

Or that he modded the jailbait subreddit.

Lots of good reasons to bag on Spez, but this isn't one. That was way back in the day when anyone could be added as a moderator without consent.

Yes, but he chose to stay listed as a moderator there. That's consent.
