Chris Glass@9to5Mac charging for API access is where this always takes a turn for the worst
Christopher Nethercott@TheChrisGlass @9to5Mac reading through iamthatis's (Apollo Developer) post about it is quite interesting. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/12ram0f/had_a_few_calls_with_reddit_today_about_the/ but is spelling the end of reddit's 3rd party apps
It seems that twitter have broken the ice in terms of charging for API access. I wonder when we will get a #fediverse verison of reddit?
📣 Had a few calls with Reddit today about the announced Reddit API changes that they're putting into place, and inside is a breakdown of the changes and how they'll affect Apollo and third party apps going forward. Please give it a read and share your thoughts!
Hey all, Some of you may be aware that Reddit [posted an announcement thread...
@ccnethercott @9to5Mac and that's exactly it. Even if done with a velvet glove, it's still the same thing.
And it's the exact opposite of how the internet originally flourished.
Imagine if browsers had to pay for the popups they blocked.
GothianThats so sad :(

Arthur 🍋@9to5Mac If I can’t use Apollo I probably won’t use Reddit. I stopped using Twitter at all when I couldn’t use spring anymore
