'Unlike some of the 3P [third-party] apps, we are not profitable,' Steve Huffman says in defending the move to charge for high-volume API access.

    I find it funny that a 3rd party app can be “profitable” but reddit cant be profitable without alienating a sizeable chunk of their userbase.

    Reddit has increasingly become a cesspit of racism and bigotry anyways, and I find Im going there less and less.

    I need to get used to how lemmy works and find my 3d printing people here.

      Do those API prices make Reddit profitable? I highly doubt it.

      I’d never repeat their claims as if they were true. It’s just bullshit reasoning. Mismanagement.
