CEO Steve Huffman said, “These deals aren’t binary. They have to make sense for Reddit, but there are many ways, I think, for the value to return to Reddit.”

Who could imagine when you piss off:
third party devs who make the apps your best contributers use
Reddit never was the same after the whole API/Mod fiasco. Many subreddits simpy died. Old users that made the site what it is left and there were new ones, but the whole vibe shifted.
The vibe is still similar in some places. I get a lot out of lurking on some of the trans subreddits for instance. But yeah, anything outside of small niche communities has been enshittified into another Instagram.
Remember when YouTube started having AI narrated posts from r/askreddit in its shorts? And how that slowly morphed into the AI generated slop stories about how one family member give the rest of them their comeuppance because the Henderson account valued results instead of random cheap business practices involving Sgt Menendez and his cheating ex girlfriend?
(This stuff is like candy to Boomers because it mirrors the reader write in sections of Reader’s Digest.)
I should have noticed this earlier, but it dawned on me a few weeks back.
Caught my father in law who’s addicted to youtube watching a video about some WWII pilot that knew how to shoot at enemy fighters from his time hunting hogs in Kansas. It was entirely AI generated, the video, the voice, and the narrative. That person didn’t exist and it didn’t survive scrutiny if you know anything about guns. But damn the comments were just boomers gooning over military wank.
Sorry, was in a hurry to GTFO of work when I posted, but yes, it was a limited run on etsy. I’d reach out to the maker and ask for them to do another run though.

Who could imagine when you piss off:
…that the “value” would leave 🤣
Out of all instances to put on a sticker… that’s not a good choice. Fuck lemmy.world.
Why are you here?
I actually got an award as being in the top 1% of reddit karma earners for 2022.
In 2023 they banned me because I didn’t buy stock when it was being introduced.
You’d think they’d want me there. Creating content. For free. I’m sure they thought I’d just create a new account. Nope. I just came here.
Weird thing is, I’ve had two main running jokes for years. One is being obsessed with corn. The other is calling George Clooney a smug bastard.
I was also invited to participate in the IPO (in 2024) due to my “top tier” karma.
Didn’t get a ban for not participating but wouldn’t have given a shit if I did.
George Clooney really is a smug bastard.
OH NO! CAN’T CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT!!! ThAt’S bAn EvAsIoN!!! (autistic screeching ensues accompanied by excessive farting noises)

Yep, it was the API thing that finally did it for me, but looking back, I should have seen it coming after all of the other stuff.
For me it was the way they treated the Apollo developer Christian Selig leading up to the whole API thing. Absolutely heinous.
Same. Although I’m reading this on Voyager, which has borrowed heavily from Apollo
Gonna tell my kids this app is Apollo and pour one out for those that didn’t make it.

Third party apps made Reddit a dream on mobile, a big part of its success were the passionate people. And they showed us all the middle finger
I want that sticker!
