   It must really suck to be <reddit> right now

     @lelouchebag Proprietary platform doing proprietary things.
     This is why people shouldn't have used it in the first place.
     Fucking told them, dog, told them about those corporations.

     @Zerglingman They're flocking to a site run by Wales, the wikipedia guy who went on to fund Fandom which has provided the absolute worst user experience ever as soon as it became popular

     @lelouchebag But at least it has bled a number of people out. Like most lemmy instances are 4-5x bigger than they were just before.
     So maybe next time it'll be critical mass.

     @Zerglingman It's my hope. Most shipjumpers are at least aware of federation at this point even if they hop on the Wales nonsense, so the second they go scummy it's another fedi boost. It's a lot like how twitter fedi started:
     >twitter doesn't ban enough chuds, run away!
     >twitter's banning too many of us chuds, run away!
     >twitter banned X journalist (I rember it was this brazilian blogger in like 2016), run away!
     >twitter TOS chance, run away!
     >jan 6 ban spree, run away!
     >twitter's bought by elon, run away!
     >twitter killed api access, run away!
     With each bump getting progressively bigger and now twitter's going the way of digg

     @lelouchebag @Zerglingman I have a question
     
     This whole thing about reddit is over their API cost right?
     
     I heard it was a high number for API usage. Who can afford that? Who would want to pay?

     @zemichi @Zerglingman Nobody. That's the intent. Reddit's losing like 5% of their potential profits off phoneposters using 3rd party applications. I suppose in going public it could hurt their valuation since that 5% could rise to 90% at any time since apparently all these apps are better than the official. Solution: Charge such an insane amount of money they can say they're not "removing" api access, but making it nearly impossible for hobbyist developers to afford.
     
     ...and the fact Google/Microsoft is scraping the entirety of reddit for AI data. And both of these entities are paying millions in api calls to keep the data coming. It's like the biggest sale of user info in history and DOES make reddit valuable since they have nearly two decades of comments on every topic imaginable

     @zemichi @Zerglingman @lelouchebag
     API cost was what started it.
     There's this thing in business called "middle finger pricing".
