I guess I don't understand why Reddit didn't just make separate API usage rules & rates for a) apps and simple bots (tools built for humans to use) and b) content harvesters like AI companies (tools built for data analysis).

It's more complicated to administrate and manage, but this alienation of their most passionate users is just horrible business.

@jkottke I mean, why did they raise $250m in 2021, double their staff and then seemingly spend it all on live streaming that they killed, an NFT wallet and customizable avatars (literally, what else have they shipped in this time?).

Leadership seems to be pretty devoid of actual business strategy.
