    Ok so something most people are missing, spez is only a small part of Reddit.

    They have other managers, board members, etc

    Remember when Reddit threw Poe under the bus, they ruined her career and threw her away.

    After they fired her the Reddit protests stopped.

    Learn who else is a part of Reddits management too and raised shit.

      It’s not like Spez is only some miniscule middle manager for reddit. He absolutely has a say in how things will go. He has shown who he really is.

        I think they’re saying not to get too narrow on who you’re blaming. It’s easy for these corporations to pin it all on the CEO, when things get too hot get rid of him and then continue exactly as it was. Not that spez didn’t play his part, but he’s not alone.

      I’ll have to find it, but I remember seeing some comments/ posts explaining how it was Huffman himself who was really the one pushing to kill off 3rd party apps.
      Plus, he’s the one who was lying about the Apollo dev’s comments as well as editing other users comments.

        3rd party apps are not compatible with making $$$. Anyone in the business or shareholders who want to make profit will be behind killing 3rd party apps.

          Reddit sells NFTs (avatars) that could easily make them more (from a percentage of each transaction) than what they’re asking for API access, if they just required 3rd party apps to include them, which wouldn’t have generated barely any backlash. But it’s their loss, and if we get a federated alternative in the process… then so be it.

          Sure they are, if they charged a similar amount for api access as they’re currently making from an average user all of the apps would gladly pay it, and reddit wouldn’t be losing any money from 3rd party apps. They could even charge 2-3x that amount and make a nice profit off of it, and all of the apps would probably be fine. It’s only because they set the bar at an absurd 20x that the apps can’t come up with enough money to pay

      This is top quality content, but those fucking bootlicker Reddit shills in the comments make me want to gouge my eyes out. I need to just stay off Reddit.

      You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

      Thanks it’s a labor of love and robots as I use the series to navigate my own take on everything going on right now with Ai in as real time as possibly. I may start a twitch to make regular video content but haven’t fully made a choice. Being a vtubers sounds kind of fun though. Thanks for reading!

    A rare triple entendre has been spotted.

    Best not to spook it.
