Jesus Christ, I could barely use Reddit when it was free. Can't imagine being such a tool I'd pay for the privilege of browsing that fucking ridiculous echo chamber. Moving to lemmy was the best thing I could've done. Wish I'd known about this place sooner. So much less ridiculous nonsense infighting and parroting basic ass taking points.

If Reddits pricing was reasonable I would not find this objectionable but the way the Apollo developer spoke about this, the API pricing was meant to kill third party developers.

This is like they tied the uncle (the cool one, not the drunk thanksgiving gop candidate) to a stripper post and are making him dance for dollars now.

After they dug the poor bastard up after he'd just been unceremoniously raped to death by Spez. You loved your uncle, now pay to see whats left dance around.

Pay to use. Then they sell your data. Double dipping.
