Got off my call with Reddit just now about the API. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/
Yup… reddit only gains from people being forced into using their own app. Apollo and other 3rd party clients don’t track data like “time spent looking at X ad”.
Same here! I created an account about a year ago and now I am considering moving over full time. Does anyone have any good sub-lemmys(?) that newcomers should check out?
I’m betting that they plan on later announcing that paid subscription reddit accounts get free access to the API, and this absurd api pricing was just a facade to make it seem they’re being reasonable

More metrics and such to sell to advertisers.
it’s disgusting how no one wants to actually be a company that provides things anymore, but simply a company that does deals with advertisers
Reddits innovative spirit really did die with aaron swartz, who couldn’t stand working there.

honestly I suggest just sorting by local/all for now, it’s still too small to only be looking at a few communities imo
