A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

He ends the video with this, which I thought summarized his thoughts well:
This was a great point, yes. The whole blackout can only really have an effect if the users show that it was not "just noise", that they don't want to be treated as addicts that you can just ignore, because they can't just leave.
I always used the official app for Reddit and used new Reddit on pcs, but how can you return to a platform that abuses its partners like this. They way they treated the Apollo developer and now basically insult their users and unpaid moderators, it is almost unbelievable that a company would go this far to upset its users.
There would probably have been less uproar if they just said in an honest way, from next month on we will ban all 3rd party apps, instead of lying about everything, act like you are listing to the community and then not answer anything. There is no way upsetting your users like this can be good for selling the company ...
