So they designed an API that they didn't intend thirdparties to use at all? And documented it publicly without the intention of any devs reading the docs? Right.

What annoys me the most is that they would rather force users to see their ads and interract with their new and useless engagement features than just take payment directly from us, the users, for accessing the API. I'll gladly pay for a premium++ ultra gold plus reddit subscription to continue using Sync. I don't get why they would rather charge the 3rd party devs that literally gives them more users.

Despite what advertising executives believe, the majority of us would gladly pay if it meant not having to deal with ads. I hate ads so much.

I think that depends on the price, but yeah, if they charged a reasonable price, sure.

Right, like.... take like Hulu. $+5/mo and I don't see ads? I don't even have to think. Done.
