From what I understand, even paid use of the API prohibits 3rd party ads under the new terms. So that $20M/year they wanted to charge Apollo? Yeah it also meant /u/iamthatis couldn't serve ads on top of that.

Yeah, it will become unsustainable for the 3rd party devs, that's why many of those apps will shutdown, Reddit will got what they want in the end, no more 3rd party apps, or really gimped ones.

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.
