Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they’re doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation.
Everytime I feel they can’t make it worse, they just double down.
Out of pure curiosity, what do you think could be the next steps Reddit could take to make their future even more worse in the most effective ways possible? 😄
To stop scrappers, offer the same pricing as API to anyone using the web version of reddit. (New or old doesn’t matter.) Ordinary users have to pay, per thousand comments, to see reddit.
Actually, do the same thing with the official app (since folks could otherwise use it for free and take screenshots or something). But leave the ads in too.
