Thousands of subreddits are still dark.

    If they would have just made it so that you needed Reddit Premium to use 3rd party apps I would have thought that was fair and subscribed

      Devs said that was discussed and rejected by Reddit. They’re stuck on that $12,000 for 50M figure. Because the goal is killing the apps.

      People might’ve grumbled a bit (me included) but it wouldn’t have led to the massive blackouts we have now.

      Find it hilarious how perfectly this solution solves all of the problems reddit spoke about.

      Reddit not profitable enough? Not enough premium subs? Third party app users can’t view ads? Api use is too high and you’re not making money off of it? Making premium a prerequisite for third party app use hits all 4 birds with one stone lol.
