A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If Reddit had just released a statement that was even just neutral like "Sorry, but we are monetizing our content now" instead of Spez's ridiculously insulting bullshit, none of this would be happening now.
That would have been a fantastic idea, tbh.
All they has to do was release. Press statement thanking the 3rd party devs, acknowledging their effort and contributions, and saying they are taking reddit in a new direction that precludes the third party apps.
Indeed. Like I would have paid them too instead of leaving. That was like RIGHT THERE for monetization. I don't know how they missed that.
Fixed that for you.
Spez is a shit expert. Of course he knows when things will pass.
