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.

Absolutely agree. Also this was just a comment I saw so who knows if it's actually true or not but it's something I could see happening unfortunately.

For sure it's unconfirmed. The only things we really know for sure are:

  1. Reddit wants money for API calls
  2. Their monetization structure is unreasonable
  3. The only possible outcome of their monetization structure is the death of third party apps
  4. Reddit is an American company and conducts itself with the same grace and farsightedness as most of them

Which leads be to the conclusion that the thing you've said is quite possible

I'm not American, but isn't it mandated by law over there to do stuff like this, to create the maximum profit for shareholders?

Forgive my ignorance of US laws!

@LoreleiSankTheShip @Cube6392 it is thought to be true, but it is not.
