Still doesn’t fix the ill will from when they abruptly killed Apollo, in a stupid way that screwed both users and an indie dev who actually cared and had dedicated significant effort to the platform.

Also, I absolutely cannot wait for when Reddit itself becomes meme stocked. Somehow, both GameStop and AMC are still alive, but the crazies are back, and Reddit seems like an excellent candidate.

They don't care about ill will, they care about money. They made nothing from third party apps and millions from gutting the API and selling it to AI companies.

not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for "low volume users" to keep the bots inflating activity

now they've literally stolen from the people who paid to support the site in the first place. absolutely shameless
