    As long the API is free, and anyone can whip up instance suited to their need, it’s only a matter of time and effort until a good mod tool is created

      Just pointing out that no reasonable person wanted the reddit API to be free, rather just a price that actually reflected the real cost to reddit.

        I consider myself pretty reasonable, and I wanted the API usage to stay free. They were already making money from all this advertising. Maybe if they hadn’t wasted time and resources on garbage features no one needed, they wouldn’t have had to create this mess.

        Honestly, considering the state of modern capitalism, someone at Reddit probably got scolded cuz some dickhead executive hadn’t been able to buy enough yachts this year or some shit.
