*Obligatory, why is this a slideshow comment.*

There’s a small question about her “marriage” since they have publicly stated they aren’t married but that Billy is her “Partner”.

Yeah, the only people I feel she’s morally obligated to pay restitution to are those that were physically harmed by her product, or whom $3,000 a year would make up a decent chunk of their income. For the most part she cheated a bunch of well off tech investors, to which I say “Good for her”

She decided to have those kids AFTER she knew she was facing prison time. She had her children to gain sympathy votes, like yours. Congrats, you fell for it.

The kids she decided to have when she knew she was facing prison time?

I hadn’t known, until another article about this a day or two ago, that one of the people she ripped off and was ordered to provided restitution to was Rupert Murdoch, for $125 million.  It honestly improved my opinion of her.  Rip him off more!  

Where do they even find 28k mods on short notice.

the comment section did kinda die then though. It used to be waaaay more active and fun

Ah yes, let’s side with Jeff Bezos, Amazon and the corporate fascists, because some people dared to challenge the Powers That Be.

I mean, have you opened up a Gizmodo or AV Club article from 2012? None of those classic commenters are here anymore and a lowly article back then got 5x the number of total comments as in 2023.

This would only be true if Reddit were asking for a fee within the realm of possibility. The $12,000 for 50 million API calls is over 70x what similar platforms charge. It’s like posting a 2013 Honda Accord on Autotrader for over 1 million dollars.

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…

Except that isn’t the issue at all. The issue is not if they should charge or even any limits they are putting on using the API. The issue is how much money they want and how much time the app devs have to implement changes.

They’ll no doubt have a constant stream of trolls and double agents to deal with if they start replacing mods. Wouldn’t be surprised if spez just decides to make himself Supreme Overmod and take over every subreddit on his own. Then he’ll have the constant shitstream of troll posts to deal with.

good. it should have always been more than two days, but Spez fucked it up again.

Well, they will continue to let 3rd parties access the API and do exactly what they had been doing - just for a much higher price. They are shooting themselves in the foot, just as Twitter has done, not realizing or caring how many of their users prefer using a third-party app.

Good. Fuck em

Just give us a NEW Katamari game you cowards

How about concerts are too expensive and people who go to them don’t want to spend money on overpriced refreshments?

That’s the new trend these days; change GUI’s, don’t do decent testing both for bugs and usability, and just dump it on users.
