Glances at fox news

They just want to sell ads. Corporate profit moment.

Why not just charge a reasonable amount for the api then? It's more complicated than that I think.

No, they want to steal data you create and profit from it, while offering nothing but spite in return.

If you make the data, the data belongs to you. That data has value, in spite of what Silicon Valley tech companies tell everyone. If it didn't have value, then these companies wouldn't be amongst the wealthiest businesses in the world.

Truly a Corpo Reddit moment.

No Fox, no! Don't hurt my RiF!

I was framed.

The last panel should be the fox digging a shallow grave for Apollo

Honestly, that's not even the worst part of the whole API debaucle.

The issue with moderation tools alone is more than enough to shut their coffin shut, yet I don't see reddit doing anything about that at all.

This is the issue.

We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation

So they are now going to make it so corporate shills can dilute the quality of their content with a whole lotta shit

If they didn't make all stupidly nearsighted decisions they could've been a leading AI company, especially with all those language data they've been collecting almost exclusively with all the spam filterations mods been doing for free. Stupid as hell.
