Ditto. I wasn’t happy but I thought they’d find some sort of compromise since being reddit, the replacement for Digg 2.0, they’d surely understand they can’t just be complete twats about it. Then they started denigrating/banning their own mods… Wtf?
There are still a few niche subs I’ll have to keep using reddit for for now, but for everything else I’m happy to move on. I’ll also be cancelling my reddit monthly subscription, obviously.
If you used a credit card for your subscription fee, would going directly to your credit card company and doing a chargeback cause more chaos for Reddit? Instead of politely canceling your sub and asking for a refund? Chargebacks are a PITA for accounts receivable.
They have forgotten the faces of their fathers. The entire reason people left Digg in the first place was because they tried to make ads unavoidable. And oh look that’s the entire reason Reddit is killing third party apps. They’re intent on dying the way Digg did, for the same reason.
Yeah, I ended up canceling my premium and I’m now using it to donate to lemmy / mastodon instances I’m migrating too. They (spez) has destroyed any (trust) chances of me going back too.
thats what annoys me. If reddit had came forward and said “API access is expensive, we need to be paid a reasonable fee for it, or we cant afford to continue”, i would have dontated, or paid for it.
But just saying “its insanely expensive, in 1 month”, and then attacking the mods just pisses people off.
A few days ago I didn’t have a single reason to leave reddit. Yet, with so many reasons now, here I am, and I look forward to lemmy and kbin.
