  • Reddit needing to make $ to maintain the resources is understandable.

    There were other ways to generate revenue without being greedy.
    For example, users pay for awards like gold etc on Reddit. This concept could have expanded to a marketplace for 3PA stickers. If 3PA apps have stickers that they were pushing as additional revenue for the developers, Reddit could have stepped in and developed a marketplace to host and promote them for the developers as well. It would be a similar model to the Google Play and Apple App stores taking a commission for in app purchases. It doesn’t have to be in the vicinity of 30% either. It’s not a perfect example by any means, so don’t flame me or the idea.

    I deleted all of my accounts, posts and comments after the clusterfuck of an AMA. The interviews Huffman gave the following week to The Verge and other media sites totally reinforced my decision not to go back. I still go back to get some tech resources that I need but it’s through alternative addresses so I don’t add to their analytics stats.

    Programming tutorials are the best

    “Just copy the code from this other tutorial who grabbed it from GitHub and paste it in then run. But I have no idea what it does lolz”

    Or
    “Hit me up on Patreon and I’ll give you access to the code snippet that I copied from someone else and claim full credit for it”
