Would you be willing to bet a token amount, say the current base cost of a Vision Pro ($3500), that in 48 months (giving you some buffer here) Apple has fully withdrawn support for…

Please don’t do this, it’ll just make it even harder for actual developers and moderators to use Reddit’s API if people start abusing it.

Do you have a source for the 30% manual mod actions claim?

> all monetization of api calls has to be done through Reddit and the API itself How does this work with IAP and ads? Or do you mean that only Reddit Premium users should have acce…

It’s impressive what a determined, vocal minority can achieve with just a bit of drama. I hope this ends quickly so everyone else can get back to aimlessly doomscrolling on Reddit.…

GP is saying Reddit could trivially skim 30% off of third party app revenue. How is checking app API traffic levels relevant? This is revenue that apps would get through IAP or ads…

I also left Twitter when Tweetbot died, but only because I can’t use Twitter without a chronological timeline and keyword filtering. My impression is that third party Reddit apps h…

I’d love to see a source for “people that generate the bulk of the content on Reddit do rely on third party apps” because that seems categorically impossible when you consider the …

The number of users on these platforms has increased considerably. Orchestrating a “movement” consisting of hundreds of millions of people takes a really significant forcing functi…

So third-party devs would have to manually cut them a check every month? How would Reddit validate that they’re getting the correct amount? Multiply this logistical nightmare by hu…

> The impression I get is that third-party apps are disproportionately used by the kinds of users that supply content more than average Are you saying that most users who post cont…

Hypothesis: Apple is a hardware company that also does software, and that ethos allows them to ship more complex products over much longer time scales than their competitors.

Christian interned for a summer at Apple. I don’t understand why he pushes this narrative given that Apollo is good enough to stand on its own without shady marketing tactics.

We don’t need a separate HN post for every subreddit that’s doing this.

I’d be willing to be the opposite given how hard Reddit is pushing this. But like you said, it’s impossible to tell without a separate category for third party apps.

Just being able to block spammy Stack Overflow clones from ever appearing in the results is worth the price of admission for me.

Third party apps are billed in aggregate each month. It’s up to them to decide how that’s split between users.

With the cost per request model, third party apps have more autonomy to dictate how much users pay per month.

Reddit Premium costs more per month ($7) than the expected cost per user for the API ($2). If third party apps can’t make it work with the request-based pricing model, limiting acc…

Do you have a source for “a large portion of reddit contributors use 3rd party apps”? And what percent are we talking about here?

How do you plan on keeping FlingUp from turning into Voat?
