Hi all! What’s your opinion? Let’s pretend reddit would give in to the protest and cancel the plan to increase the API pricing. Would all of you go back to Reddit or stay on Lemmy?
I mean… what has been said by the CEO cannot be unsaid now. We all now know what we are in the eyes of the CEO.
I think they’ll weather it. But once third party clients go there’s really nothing left to stop them going into full user-hostile monetisation mode. So next will be old Reddit, more ads, maybe the mobile site finally gets removed, nsfw banned, etc.
They’ll kill themselves in the process of trying to look profitable for an IPO.
