That's not always true. People were claiming the same tactic is what reddit was doing, but they've actually stuck with their original pricing.

Well yeah but reddit really just wanted all third party apps gone so that they could force everyone to use their shit app.

hindsight is 20-20. My point is not to jump to conclusions, nobody knows what is going on through their head. They may be really that fucking stupid, as most executive staff tend to be.
