Makes literally no sense to me that Reddit couldn't afford to provide a price exception to 3rd party apps that have helped grow their community and website over the years. I've been using Reddit Is Fun for almost a decade now, and I'm not switching to their official app.
Companies are getting too comfortable when they have no competition. Really hope a Fediverse alternative will kick off like Mastodon did (ironically I'm placing my bets on kbin even though I use Lemmy. Seems like the simpler alternative that'll be easier to invite people over).
I've never had an issue with the main app or site myself, and have been on Reddit for like 15+ years now? Fuckin forever IDK. I'm still down to bail for Lemmy, I support everyone who finds use in 3rd party apps plus I'm tired of bonkers bans and power hungry mods while ridiculous shit gets left up as A-OK.
I'm actually on a 7 day ban right now, for "abusing the report feature." The linked report they provided as proof of abuse? A comment they had just messaged me to tell me "We agree this has violated TOS and have removed the violating content."
So........."You're right, that DOES break the rules.......But could you STOP FUCKING MAKING US PRESS TWO BUTTONS ALREADY?!"
You can't charge apps differently for the same stuff or people will sue you.
Reddit wants to bring them all down. I wouldn't be surprised if they take down the entire API in a year to save money.
What are you talking about? Anyone working in B2B sales know there are no such things as lidt prices. Everything is negotiated.
You can. Companies do it all the time. Being grandfathered in is why people still pay pences on their cellphone plans from major providers, for example. I don't think it's the answer in this particular scenario, though.
