Christina WarrenYou know, the ironic thing is #Reddit could’ve required people to pay for Reddit Premium to get API client access and I would have. A lot of people wouldn’t have, but I would have. That would’ve let the devs potentially keep the apps running and juice Reddit’s per-user fees. What an utter waste. #VivaApollo
Don Whiteside@film_girl It’s a clear indication they never really wanted it to work. If they thought they could get money from users for API based access they would have gone after it themselves, directly. Why would they give developers a shot at marking that up and profiting? This is a way to eliminate users who aren’t being served ads and - probably more significantly - evading metric and identity gathering for resale and analysis.
