Reddit is requiring manual admin approval to make /r’s private, eliminating the main mechanism for the last sitewide protest agains changes to the API.

    It’s so sad. Reddit still comes up in my search results and I’ll check them out if I’m in a pinch. Most of these results are years old. Rarely ever get a result that’s within the last 2 years.

    They were spinning gold.

    They could have improved user experience, made better mod tools and built a fucking native app that competed with third party apps.

    But nope.

    Line must go up.

    Their goal at this point is to monetize old user content.
