They could have easily created pricing tiers which would have skimmed the maximum profit off each. Likewise they could embed ads in the API as a condition of access (even granting ad-free access for premium members).
For whatever reason they chose not to do these things. I'm leaning towards incompetence rather than malice.
Don't dox yourself. Try to limit your information to a Maidenhead locator or general area of at least a few kilometers in an urban area and a few dozen in rural areas....
I like it here. It's not crowded. Easy to move around. Nature is nearby. Few challenges: weather in November (dark, rainy), endless civil infrastructure investment (construction).
I can't think of another place to live except maybe in November.
I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

I saw the recent API charge news with Reddit and saw that people were discussing alternatives to Reddit in the event we all have to abandon it....
Welcome Reddit refugees!
