A few days ago i commented on some guide article about how this website sure has changed and someone replied “elaborate”. And well... now this happened.

While the dealer is definitely scummy, Munoz is not without fault here, either. Munoz should have done more to check and make sure that everything with that car was fine

You have the biggest Tesla-boner I’ve ever seen.

Okay, then don’t play their games. Don’t support their work. Don’t even play the classics on your emulators. It’s absurd to try to mentally separate the art from the artist in most cases, especially in the case of a developer that has remained as thoroughly consistent in their views as Nintendo in regards to emulation…

I’m pro-emulation and always frustrated when resources are taken offline for older consoles and games. For brazenly discussing emulation of a major Nintendo game weeks before it released? I’m amazed they lasted past the leak’s first day. Nobody can be surprised about this.

Way to completely misunderstand the situation. The problem is NOT that they want to charge for API usage. The 3rd party app developers are on the record saying they AGREE that there should be a reasonable price for access. The issue is that they suddenly slapped a rate on it that is 20 times that of what a similar…

You must be pretty new around here to not know that Kotaku—hell, many of the Gizmodo-family sites—are very outspoken against their management. The herb destroyed Deadspin because he didn’t like being made fun of. The other sites did not--and still don’t--take kindly to that.

“Your rage fueled tirades will only serve to make me laugh.”

the people this API change is affecting are a very loud, yet VERY small minority of Reddit users,

I bet you cheered when comments were removed from Deadspin.

lol, bro, the people making those subreddits go dark do, collectively, millions of dollars worth of unpaid labor a year keeping the site running. Rethink thinking

This dude really wrote six angry paragraphs about Reddit drama and ended it by calling other people “keyboard warriors.”

That “small minority” is an all-volunteer work force that keeps Reddit functional. The mods go away, the site goes away. You have genuinely no idea how much free labor Reddit is just throwing out the window with this move.

Except you’re missing the larger, more important issue:

“Now, please let all of the uber-entitled keyboard warriors eager to take up the cause of the week flame me below. Your rage fueled tirades will only serve to make me laugh.”

I like how you write your own tirade and then just immediately, preemptively shut down any possible response by dismissing them as written by…

Nothing screams “I’m not bothered or riled up” like a wall of text about how funny it is to you. Reddit is (soon to be was) a platform run by its users, ya dink. All your presuppositions are wrong

Theres one little problem with this argument. The issue isn’t that Reddit wants to charge for it’s API, but that the amount they want to charge is astronomical and way higher than other websites such as Imgur, and the extremely short timeline they gave with pricing information.

Owls have very small brains. Their eyes take most of their skull’s space. All in all, they’re not really smart, even for a bird.
