    u/Spez will just put the blame on Christian again (Apollo’s dev).

    But on a little more serious note, I doubt this is on purpose. This would look really bad for the credibility of the platform, there is a LOT of users that just want to keep doomscrolling Reddit and in all honesty don’t give a spez(fuck) about what’s going on with the protests.

    But… if this is on purpose…

    Strange decision to say the least.

      From what I’ve been following, they haven’t been too concerned about this since at least a few weeks ago

        Outright telling active partners that they won’t help them identify inefficient interactions with the first-party API was a great look.

          Yeah - in fairness, they weren’t getting paid to, but there are plenty of examples to pick from.

        I know and agree with you on that.

        But for the majority of the userbase, one thing is to have some of their favorite subreddits joining a protest, the other is having their whole experience affected.

      100%… “malicious code in a 3rd party app led effectively to a DDOS attack on reddit… this is why we must close the API to only allow select approved apps”
