No, which is why they are asking you to take it.

If that’s the case, then the point of all of that is definitely to get people onto the official app and not to save money on “inefficient” API calls.

Either way, I won’t be going back. I am tired of being the product.

By “take” they clearly mean to move it to a new location, but do not stand on the stage at any point during the process of moving it.

I think the people that would seek out a third party app are mostly the kind of people that would do the extra work of copying and pasting an API key. It will definitely be a smaller userbase than before though.

Couldn’t they just have the app ask for the user’s API key? I use a weather app that does that with OpenWeatherMap.

I saw someone else call this “gerrymandered pizza”.

A few days ago. It was posted about on a few Lemmy communities.

Yes. They have already done this to r/adviceanimals and threatened to do it to r/pics. They will be doing it to any subs that don’t go back to public. It is time to leave reddit permanently.

Most big tech companies aren’t profitable. Even YouTube.

Revenue and profits aren’t the same thing. Profits are what is left of the revenue after expenses are paid.

They are either going to have to hire a ton of paid moderators or shut down every non-default sub. The former will be very expensive and the latter will kill the only good thing reddit has going for it.

Is he planning a false flag?

I vote for migrating elsewhere.

The only thing I’d go back for is to lurk r/FreeGameFindings. I definitely won’t be posting anywhere though. I’d rather contribute to a site that respects me.

I saw a lot of people predicting this before the blackout. I expect a lot of the mods will refuse to moderate.

Wasn’t a lot of it reposts of OC made by other users?
