I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn’t want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.
Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?
Not at this point. I don’t want to give bad faith actors my business, and Mr. Huffman has shown himself to be a big ol’ penis. At the beginning? With unadulterated access (i.e. NSFW content) and gentler rules for 3rd party apps? Sure, I would have been ok with that.
It’s amazing how every time I think Huffman has destroyed every shred of credibility and goodwill he goes and digs the hole even deeper.
