jonah,

I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

eggnog,

I would say the same about Relay

doofer_name,

I think this only applies to non-commercial apps. Since Apollo has a subscription I doubt it.

henry,

all the data are mine all the money is mine. mine. mine. mine.

a totalitarian content vacuum, they created nothing : everything is written by you, linked by you and curated by you and now they want to charge you for looking at it.

what the fuck happened to the internet.

rationalistfaith,

As all things, excessive greed is destroying everything.

This has been their policy for a long time

CmdrShepard,

So if I post a link to a full length Star Wars movie, reddit now own the rights and distribution to said movie?

That aside, their policy doesn't mean anything if nobody is posting content for them to claim as their own and make money off of it.

Jaximus,

It is the only natural conclusion of the market economy and societies that use it. Just check what is happening to democratic institutions globally. :)

Alkalyon,

what the fuck happened to the internet.

Capitalism got to it. Pretty simple I would say.

smstnitc,

It's a cycle. Everyone wants their piece of the pie, and a lot of companies shoot themselves in the foot trying to get it. I hope more people move to lemmy. It has real long term potential.

breadcrumbs for the plebs

altair222,

didnt twitter try pulling something similar to this? (apart from ofc banning TPAs)

duringoverflow,

yes, they're following the same approach. I'm really curious, didn't they see all the backslash that elon mask's actions had? Or did they see it but they believe that since twitter is still online, it means that they were correct actions?

altair222,

i dont think this was out of much calculation other than pure capitalist and/or fascistic instinct. and im talking more on saying "teehee look we arent fully bad, have some crumbs" after breaking legs

Well like, of course. But that's still 0.1% of the bare minimum that's needed.

Jongaros,

They also send 7 million dollar estimate to community app with no monetization or ads so you can't take what they say to face value.

mortuum,

"Non-commercial," AKA give us all your hard work for free. No subscriptions, you won't be compensated for your work. How are you supposed to make enough to support your app as a dev in this scenario? You're not. It's all PR damage control and it's pathetic. Once again trying to profit off free labour.

smstnitc,

Smells like damage control.

They seem to be pretty bad at damage control.

Shhalahr,

Stickied comment here is what /r/Blind, one of the most prominent fighters for the accessibility features, has to say about it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Blind/comments/13zr8h2/reddits_recently_announced_api_changes_and_the/jnbkjed/

They weren't even invited.

seesaw,

When you think of it it's easy for /r/blind to go blackout

StarkillerX42,

I can't wait for Reddit to "meet us halfway" between their absurd API policy and what we currently have, and somehow expect us to be greatful.

Shhalahr,

How do they define "accessibility app". It sounds like almost every third party app is more accessible than the official app. So they're all addressing accessibility needs.

CookieJarObserver,

Yeah as if...

Gabtraf,

What's to stop all 3rd party app users migrating to accessibility focused 3rd party apps rather than the 1st party one?

rothaine,

"non-commercial". Resumable that means the app devs can't make money from it. Which excludes many of the most popular apps

@RadDevon Nothing more than a thinly veiled acknowledgement of the current protest.

Doesn't matter if they extend it from July to September, it's still going to be implemented. What a joke of a website.
