View submission: Lets talk about those API calls
This is a quality post, I hope it reaches far and wide. This whole API mess can be avoided if Reddit decides to be less greedy. That's all it boils down to. Money. Taking away what the community wants and needs will kill the website, making them lose more money. A good reminder is The Lorax movie. He put his ethics aside and tried to make as much money as possible, only to end up with nothing because everyone left. Don't do that to us Reddit. Let that movie serve as an example of what happens when you pursue your API plans the way you are.

This is actually a very good Reddit post. Confidently incorrect about a lot of things, but with enough good pieces of data to sound correct.

far and wide
Buddy if I said 99.9999% of people don’t care at all about this I’d be massively underselling just how trifling it is to Joe Enduser.
