Catching up on the Reddit API mess. Are there other big API users besides Apollo? Links welcome
@caseynewton I think the real story here is they’re gating the API, and the data created and curated by users, to sell a highly tagged data set for AI training. It didn’t matter to them if it’s created by users, or if it goes to shit in the future, they have the asset already as-is and that’s what they’re going to sell.
@pmacdiggity @caseynewton yes this is it. I’ve only seen one article mention it, and I haven’t seen anything on Reddit itself among the deluge of posts about the api changes
