Then why have a public API?
the reddit mobile app used to be a third party app before it was bought out.
Dude, stop talking. Everything he says just makes it worse
What the fuck do you think bots, tools, and plugins are, dumbass?
Also, post summaries in JSON are much lighter to transmit than HTML, so honestly the fact that you still serve a website at all is more inefficient.
If that were ever the case, they would of brought the leading 3rd-party developers to the table. I don’t discredit that he feels they should pay for their API access, I just feel the amount is exhorbant and meant to put them under rather than find an equal financial ground that makes sense.
Yeah, that $20 mil is definitely a “fuck off” number.
This is hilarious to say considering reddit:
a) has had an api to support 3rd party apps since the beginning
b) went more than a decade before making a 1st party app
c) the 1st party app is literally based on a 3rd party app they bought outPull the foot from your ass, that you shot yourself in, out of your fucking mouth.
You greedy piggy baby boy…
