The Reddit API should certainly cost money and any apps using it should pay their proportional amount per usage. However, Reddit's prices are insane and are clearly designed to destroy 3rd party apps. Like, I get it. Reddit is free, and isn't really profitable outside of ads. There aren't any alternate Facebook apps. So it makes sense that they would want to force users to use the app that shows ads. They are going about this wrong, they need to just reduce the prices a little bit and call it a win. Holding out for the end of the blackout and assuming that most users won't care might wind up in the death of the website. I'm personally trying to use Reddit less, but it has swallowed up so much of my browsing habits that I'm having a tough time replacing it. |
Agreed, I could tell by that cheap AMA from Spez that he is a tool. Seems to hold grudges which is wild for a business. I may do the same, do less and less reddit, just replace it with something else...maybe ride a bike!
