“This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.”

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.
None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."
Oh yeah. The reason AAA gaming is so shit right now, full of nickle and dimming everywhere, is because we have allowed it over the years.
It’s the same with the internet in general.
We allowed ourselves to get fucked, accepting every little “it’s a tiny change, it’s for the better” with nothing more than a tiny moan.
We gave these companies our data, our money, and our time, and let them free to control the markets as they see fit.
Why shouldn’t they think we are gullible and easy to manipulate into defending their greed?
It’s crazy when you think about it, they are asking hundreds of bucks for just a bunch of textures, it’s insane. Now mix it with casino mechanics and sexualisation and you have a bunch addict incels lining up for their next fix of fake waifus with the little money they have. It’s diabolical and brilliant.
