I can understand that u/spez has the power to whatever he wants to with his platform. I don’t agree with his decision to ice out clients like boost for reddit and other clients with out providing some sort of transition plan. That really rocks my confidence in reddit which I have been a member of for 10+ years. With this change I feel the days of smarter than the average bear organic content on reddit will take a turn to favor the everyday idiot echo chambers of other social media platforms. It felt that is has been a long time comming for reddit, and the api fee put the nail in the coffin.
