Got off my call with Reddit just now about the API. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/
That sounds a lot like a perverse albeit unintentional incentive to keep users relying on a platform that shouldn’t be trusted. Give this a read, as Karl Voit explains it nicer than I can; I’d also like to highlight that any sort of info that you find in Reddit is highly unreliable, due to the excessive local leniency towards certain types of irrationality.
Also note that this is an easy issue to solve, from both sides. People looking for help can always look for it elsewhere; and people willing to help can migrate their content elsewhere.
Thats pretty true, maybe I should start a blog on my website and instead of writing the reply to help the people, I write an article on my blog and simply give them the link. That would also prevent the companies from stealing my content since I would still own it 100%
Keep in mind that plenty subreddits have policies against blog posts, even if they aren’t monetised. Even then, you’re setting up another place where people can reach you out for help, so frankly that’s still an amazing idea.
