Reddit is basically successful despite itself. It's wild.

What are the alternatives exactly? Until we get interoperating platforms where people can easily migrate and reward the places that treat them the best we are stuck with the few platforms that managed to create network lock-in. The social media as a prison operating model.

Is Facebook not a network effect business? It’s not only wildly profitable but bigger than those two combined. Twitter and Reddit are just run by incompetents who can’t figure out how to advertise anything relevant.
Twitter and Reddit are messageboards. Like Hacker News. Every time they do something controversial, someone thinks Usenet needs to be reincarnated. Trying to monetize that at scale is hardddd. Facebook has got groups, yes. But they have instagram. Messenger. Whatsapp. They have my friends and family. They have my photos going back 10 years. Facebook is personal to many people. I don't see Twitter and Facebook being i…
What does Reddit's core functionality cost? They have annual revenue of half a billion dollars. Tell me that you can't use that money to run a text distribution infrastructure.

I don't get it.

On Apollo, I have the UI configured to omit previews of images and videos, it’s also high density. It basically looks like HN.

Reimburse the yearly subscription their prorated amount and offer the new subscription amount, or even offer to apply the remainder as credit towards the new subscription. Seems pretty easy and obvious.
Easy and obvious if you're directly selling to users. Not so easy and obvious if the App Store is a middle-man.
This is ridiculous. I couldn't speak for all subreddits. But for some of the subreddits I loved, it just shows how ignorant, arrogant and dictatorial they are. Those moderators didn't contribute to the value of the subreddits. They don't provide any valuable content at all. How can they move subreddits to private without approval from creators? This is fucking ridiculous.
