“It’s a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they’d rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going.”
It is perplexing that if Reddits goal was to make money from AI that it didn’t also reach out to the popular third party apps and come up with a deal to keep them operational instead of the current situation.
