Yup... reddit only gains from people being forced into using their own app. Apollo and other 3rd party clients don't track data like "time spent looking at X ad".
More metrics and such to sell to advertisers.
it's disgusting how no one wants to actually be a company that provides things anymore, but simply a company that does deals with advertisers
Reddits innovative spirit really did die with aaron swartz, who couldn't stand working there.
the admins of lemmy.ml are tankies and encourage this sort of propaganda posting. i'd highly recommend you move instances if this bothers you; sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org are both good instances
Kbin recently popped up if you want an alternative to Lemmy, but it's still in early beta
Same here! I created an account about a year ago and now I am considering moving over full time. Does anyone have any good sub-lemmys(?) that newcomers should check out?
I think the "proper" term is "Communities", in case the question mark there was indeed a "Is that the term?" 😁
I'm betting that they plan on later announcing that paid subscription reddit accounts get free access to the API, and this absurd api pricing was just a facade to make it seem they're being reasonable
