    Because the point isn’t the costs of the API. Reddit wants all its users to go through the official access points, the Reddit app and the redesigned web. This will allow them to hover the maximum data to sell and ensure ads flow.

      They should’ve just been effing upfront about it instead of trying to scapegoat API creators. Did they think users are too dense to understand what they were/are really up to?

        Have corporations always been this dishonest and they’re only know getting caught? Am I old enough to see when a corporation is lying, or are corporations blatantly lying more often now?
