View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API

View parent comment

More likely: this is part of a plan to slowly, quietly pull a Tumblr on this site.

They've been quietly putting restrictions on NSFW subs for a while now. You can't upload videos in then anymore. You can't use Reddit's native image host in them anymore. They won't show up on r/all[1] anymore. And now, you soon won't be able to access them through the API anymore.

This is just foreplay. Soon, Reddit will simply pull the plug on NSFW content altogether. That's their game plan. Just look at what they're doing to Imgur, which might I remind you is owned by many of the same people who own Reddit.

They want Reddit cleaned up for its eventual IPO. They want it squeaky clean.
