Thanks for catching that, I was confused why there was a picture of the relatively new Grand Cherokee and they were saying it’s due for a redesign.

I got confused about the image of the (recently re-designed) Grand Cherokee, but the text is about the Cherokee. Even Jalopnik gets it confused. Should be a lesson for manufacturers that completely different vehicles maybe don’t need to share a name?? Looking at you Ford - Bronco and Bronco Sport? Really??

“But nobody drives a Wrangler on paper, they a few people take it to the dirt.” I see a lot of pristine Rubicons successfully navigating treacherous mall parking lots.

“But nobody drives a Wrangler on paper, they take it to the dirt.”

So, based on the video I saw, there are very clear rules about this:

This wasn’t about letting 3rd party devs “do whatever they want.” Christian Selig, the dev who created Apollo, admitted that paying for API was something that he knew would eventually have to happen. It was Reddit’s outrageous pricing and accelerated implementation of the charges that wouldn’t allow him to adjust

If they want to charge for their API, that’s fine. If app developers can’t afford it, that’s just business, I guess. Pricing your product so high that nobody is going to buy it doesn’t sound like a way to generate revenue to me, but then I didn’t go to business school.


I was never a fan of Reddit until lately.

As you have demonstrated, there are plenty of ways for your peer group to express their thoughts.

Well, know we know your take... likely from the same perspective.

We are talking about it and reddit is down because they chose to shut down whole sections of the site. Nobody would care or notice if a few people deleted their accounts.

Part of the idea is if your favorite subreddits are dark, you won’t visit reddit at all. That’s what I’m doing. The subs I would normally go to reddit for are dark. So, I’m just not using reddit today. Deleting your account doesn’t send as much of a message because it’s permanent. If you just stop using it today and

It’s still not a truck. Not even close.

Yes, but they aren’t trucks or off-road vehicles.

They should just release it since the target demographic will buys and defend it to death anyways.

Yeah, and it echoes something I’ve been saying for years - the boom/bust cycle of platforms is getting really frustrating for users to have to switch every time some vulture capitalist decides that it’s time to wring every last penny out of the platform.

this is reddit, not 4chan

Yet another site succumbing to the enshittification of the internet.

I imagine the people in charge of these API decisions — who, I’m assuming, are the business execs not familiar with the technical side — won’t notice. So I hope, come July 1st, these same subreddits go dark indefinitely, until reddit undoes this insanity.
