The man just doesn't know when to stop so he doubles down lol

Ah yes, the "noise" that has literally been keeping your site operating for completely FREE.

I'm really hoping he does see that Reddit is nothing without its users and treating them badly does have consequences.

It would be a nice lesson for all of these huge companies to learn.

Sadly it seems most users just go where the critical mass is. They don't see to care the people earning money from it are pieces of shit. They just are where everyone else is. Now, what makes people leave a community in mass, I don't know. Human dynamics are strange.

Most people just want to use something without thinking about it. We all have lives to live. I will not give reddit anymore of my time and I wish everyone on reddit and the fediverse well.

The bad thing is: the majority of users will continue Reddit in a few days as if nothing ever happened.

Not even a few days, people are over there celebrating the failure of the blackout already

I just don't get why people work against their own interests, people are just so weird

From what I've seen many of them seem to hate the fact that moderators have banned them, so they're happy the mods may be removed from power.

Most of these users are right-wing, and seem to forget that any mod removals will be replaced with another mod and transphobia, homophobia and racism are still against reddit's code of conduct.

Convenience, short sightedness, and outright lies. Most won't directly be affected by Reddit's recent changes, so it's more convenient for them to just not care and continue using the site uninterrupted. For now, those money-hungry policies don't affect them much, so they'll just not care about it, until of course the ever growing hunger of capital requires more money, thus leading to more restrictive monetisation schemes (Twitter is considering limiting DMs without a subscription now, for example). And of course, you have people buying into the lies that that is the only way for sites like Reddit to exist, nevermind any alternatives (both to Reddit itself and within its monetisation plans).

Well, as far as I'm concerned, unless they forgo charging for API access, I'm not visiting Reddit again, apart from checking the save3rdpartyAPps subreddit. Bit ironic that the protest had been organized on Reddit.

[-] KBTR1066@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Then you're never going back. It's absurd to think that Reddit should just let 3rd Party apps have access to its API for free indefinitely. You wanna argue that the price should be sensible? Fine. You wanna argue that the way Reddit has rolled this out is reprehensible? Fine. But to argue that they HAVE to keep giving it away for free? Forever? That's just a ridiculous thing to expect.
