L4sBotSome Redditors say they're walking away after Apollo app shuts down
zos_kiaLet’s be realistic here, there’s very little chance that a significant portion of users migrate out. It’s cool. We don’t have to obsess about our ex.
Mostly_HarmlessI'm not sure if you're old enough to remember Digg, but they also alienated their users which caused users to migrate to Reddit.
The Demise of Digg: How an Online Giant Lost Control of the Digital Crowd - Digital Innovation and Transformation
Digg's inability to prevent fraudulent voting allowed power users to take control of the site's content and undermined its mission to produce democratized news.
The situations are vastly different. Digg was nowhere near as popular as reddit, and neither was social media in general. There’s a huge majority of people on reddit who don’t care about API prices and don’t want the old reddit back. They just want to see le funny meme and read made up stuff, they’re not gonna jump ship for some drama.
The only ones who care about that and want the old reddit back is us, right here. Which is cool because we have an opportunity to make it before the normies find out about it !
