What, if anything, could Reddit do (other than rebuke their annihilation of third party apps) to regain your trust and consider going back to their platform?

    In no particular order:

    • Remove API changes
    • Remove u/Spez and his lovely executive board
    • Make the site a non-profit project without ads, since most of the work is done by volunteers anyway

    Oh, and for fucks sake: Remove that shit stain that is the official app from the universe.

      Seconded,

      Spez and the board are #1 on the list though. I said in a post on reddit the other day, if, in his own words, reddit “hasn’t been profitable for years,” then he and the rest of the board have absolutely zero business running the company!

      Though I’m wary about the access to government assistance that non-profit status would open them up to… However, that does force them to be 100% transparent with their finances.

        Not profitable just means their costs are higher than regular income. Their costs include paying themselves. Spez could have taken less money if he chose to. They were getting investment money to keep going at that rate though.
