One of the fascinating things to me about the HN discussion on the Reddit strike is the extent to which a community that's normally extremely pro-capital can suddenly see not only the problems with worker exploitation but the validity of collective action to fight against executive greed.
#Reddit kills third-party apps by hiking API fees to girnomous levels.
Me not realising that there were even third-party apps
So I'm not sure that the narrative that Reddit will destroy its business by doing this is true, cos it doesn't affect users like me, which I suspect, is a majority of its users.
However, as a developer, I will think twice about developing anything for a for-profit platform, seeing what happened with #Twitter etc. It is ... not great that platforms are ..1/2
