I keep sitting here waiting for Reddit to backtrack. But it keeps not happening.

Reddit isn't going back. Even if they did I'm sure they just convinced multiple users to not go back. I hope the blackout and tons of users moving will have a big enough impact to devalue Reddit even if somewhat.

I predict Reddit backing out, lowering the API price to something realistic, and then everyone forgets what happened, like every other time something like this has happened.

if there can be a coordinated migration to the fediverse during blackout, that'd be the dream.

wouldn't it be amazing when all of spez's attempts to make reddit look pretty for shareholders completely fail so they ruined their community for absolutely nothing

Yeah I think this is going to be the event that finally causes a critical mass exodus. I mean, digg tried to keep going after the migration to reddit, but it was never the same again. Reddit is dead, it's only a matter of time until it's a called.

Question:

How do you address the concerns of users who feel that Reddit has become increasingly profit-driven and less focused on community engagement?

Answer:

We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable.

This is where I lost all hope.

There'd be all kinds of better ways to go about making profit / becoming financially sustainable. This is blatant ignorance and mismanagement, without hearing or seeing anything. Complete mismanagement.

That comment had real “The beatings will continue until morale improves.”

I’m doubtful because I feel like the business goons did the math, found the expected profit of killing 3rd party apps and taking the backlash was higher than keeping the status quo, and have committed to the more profitable option.
