Reddit this week.

What they should do: Step back, ask for forgiveness and announce “free" API access but only for their Premium sub. Would end the strike, increase revenue and still kneecap 3rd party apps.

What they'll probably do: Nothing.

What they may do: Something that’s really stupid.

What I have the popcorn ready for: Mass takeover of subreddits, followed by announcement of a move towards AI based mods.

@paul They're going to wait and see if the protest has legs first, of course, but you can be sure they've already started working on AI moderation & are just working to get costs below the cost of outsourcing to Bangalore.
