    The section about discussing apollo’s efficiency was super great to display reddit’s attitude toward this. The analogy of using 3 miles on a car out of 861 miles available, and then to be chastised because someone else used 1 is insane. That and showing that they’ve had a relationship with these developers, helped and encouraged them, and suddenly after for some a decade, gives them 30 days to do the impossible.

    Wow, I figured, Reddit simply didn’t want 3rd-party apps anymore and for PR reasons decided to name a high pricetag rather than discontinuing the API altogether. But they’re going way beyond that, trying to shame individual app developers etc., which is really not helping their PR.

    Honestly this has been coming for a long time. They did this once before with Alien Blue, this is going to be the breaking point for a ton of people. It’s just sad to see them making the exact same mistakes digg made, back when reddit was the good guy.
