Interested in getting a feel for what people may be likely to do IF reddit reverses their decision regarding API access, or reduces access fees to a reasonable level and 3rd party apps remain sustainable....
This reminds me a bit of Wizards Of the Coast. As a MTG and D&D player, I experienced multiple times the company treating the player base like shit, getting flak, crawling back, and repeating this over and over. At some point I figured I'm an idiot for accepting their remorse - they are constantly trying to see what they can get away with, and the only sensible response is an irrevocable ban.
From my perspective, Spez's response to the community is unforgivable - there is no amount of crawling back that will appease me - I have no intent in continuing to invest my time and effort in a platform that I believe will continue to try to get away with what they can, just like WOTC.
Honestly, it's mind-boggling how the top 1% have us believing their relentless greed is just the norm and that we're helpless to do anything about it. This is particularly noticeable on platforms like Reddit, where we, the users, are the real value creators and even volunteer our time....
I stopped using reddit and shared on my other social medias why I made this choice. That's as far as I'm concerned, sufficient and satisfactory. I can only do my best and hope that everyone else does their best. If they don't, that won't stop me from doing my best. Lamenting that it doesn't always work out isn't very constructive for me.
What will you do if reddit undoes API changes?
