    Is Reddit as a business responsible for providing a livelihood for a third party developer? What would they be suing over? On what grounds?

      It would not be on the grounds that Reddit is responsible for providing livelihood, but instead that Reddit failed to live up to their promises and agreements. Personally, I think that’s the least likely of the three as there’s almost no way a third party app developer has the lawyers to take on Reddit’s legal team, and it sounds like a really weak case. It’s jsut something I’ve seen people theorizing so I wanted to put it into the world. As I said, I think this is just as simple as the developer thinks they can make this work
