This is something I can’t seem to figure out. Let’s just assume that 3rd party apps are the reason reddit is losing money. So, it would make sense that reddit wants to start charging for their API access. But why is the burden on the apps and not the users?
They want to kill 3rd party apps so that everyone needs to use their shitty app, they don’t actually want money from them. And I guess they want that because it has something to do with data, ads and a shitload of money.
