I wouldn’t use third party apps if Reddit actually offered the features those apps give.  Like keyword filtering.  Up your game Reddit.

You could’ve written “CEOs Are Just Making Everything Worse” and been more accurate.

Business model isn’t proven till they’re making money and can go public. That they feel the need to do what they’re doing now is evidence against your idea here.

I just want to shake this clown until the stupid stops and tell him that Bezos isn’t going to drop 50 billion on Reddit just because Elon Musk bought Twitter.

Are you being serious?  Why doesn’t Apollo just not pay and then continue using the APIs then?  Or maybe your understanding of how the APIs work is flawed.

Reddit forgets its history; rising with the prideful fall of Digg.

They literally don’t, though? The Reddit app uses a closed API that third parties have no access to.

Reddit working overtime astroturfing comment sections, I see.

Even if it’s not on the endangered species list, the ivory-billed woodpecker was never delisted from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and is therefore still illegal to “pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, attempt to take, capture, or kill, possess, offer for sale, sell, offer to barter, barter, offer to purchase,…

Used the Reddit app for 15 minutes a couple months back. Uninstalled immediately. It pissed me off so much I didn’t even think to look for an alternative, which soon won’t be an option.

Yeah I use a tbird party app cause their browser site is garbage and their app just as bad. When all this comes to a head and that app no longer works later this month then my use of reddit is going to go down immensely. 

So why all the fuss now over profit margins?

So, like most ‘CEOs’, he’s another ‘promoted beyond the level of his incompetence’ clown who cannot see the forest for the trees, nor the trees for the forest. He has no meaningful skills or knowledge, and is relying on the status quo of an atrophied ‘profession’ that is easily the least important job, with the lowest…

Reddit “never designed to support third-party apps” (why did you have an API then?)

They get far more access to your phone when you use the app vs using the browser. Plus it’s much harder to block ads.

What’s hilarious is that Reddit lives off of Free Labor (Unpaid Mods) and User Engagement (Advertising) + Money Spent within App. Now they are trying to use the Musky Twitter Model and destroy both Free Mods (Labor) and Users who will go elsewhere once the next site pops up. Trust that I have zero attachment to Reddit…

that not only was Reddit “never designed to support third-party apps”

I used to use Reddit on my phone from time to time... in my browser. Recently, it told me the mobile site is now read-only and I had to download the app to login and post. Instead of doing that, I just stopped using it. They really want you to download that app.

You could drop the first word from this headline and it’s universally true.
