The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
Bullshit. This is a biased article.
As a other person commented, I won. No need for reddit at this point.
And user name checks out.
Their goal wasn’t to win you over. It was to create a loyal user base of ad consumers and they succeeded at that
I also succeeded at finding a platform to consume content that isn’t ad riddled. Yet.
The discussions and posts on subreddits I frequented are lower quality. Seems like popular has a completely different mix compared before protests. I’ve seen similar happen elsewhere, it will be a slow slide into irrelevance unless something changes.
