They just want to sell ads. Corporate profit moment.
Why not just charge a reasonable amount for the api then? It’s more complicated than that I think.
They also want the data but I wouldn’t be surprise if it’s more complicated
they are doing it so they can show the investors that an API request costs A amount and each request earns B amount, and we get C amount of API requests a day so in theory they will earn C(B-A). which will be a larger number if B is bigger which is what they have changed recently. This is all about the IPO.
That makes more sense… But only if someone actually pays it. I don’t see anyone paying what they’re asking.
The last panel should be the fox digging a shallow grave for Apollo
I’m not that bad. C’mon now.
Glances at fox news
C’MON NOW.
Truly a Corpo Reddit moment.
No Fox, no! Don’t hurt my RiF!
Honestly, that’s not even the worst part of the whole API debaucle.
The issue with moderation tools alone is more than enough to shut their coffin shut, yet I don’t see reddit doing anything about that at all.
If they didn’t make all stupidly nearsighted decisions they could’ve been a leading AI company, especially with all those language data they’ve been collecting almost exclusively with all the spam filterations mods been doing for free. Stupid as hell.
It really do be like that
The bastard. At least pay me for your mess.
