Unlike many other large subreddits r/books has not made any statements about the API changes. I did try and post something about it but it ended up getting deleted. At 22.1 million users this would be a pretty significant addition to the protest.
Does anyone know why there hasn’t been anything official?
they sold out
Can’t sell out if you are not being paid. I guess they just don’t care, which is fine, if a little disappointing.
Maybe they don’t need to care, if they use desktop/official app.
I dunno if it counts as selling out when they previously haven’t had a stance on it, but it is disappointing.
