This week we told how Reddit users are calling a kind of strike in which Several of the platform’s largest subreddits will be closed in protest of the abusive prices that the company has set for its APIuntil now free, with which he hopes to obtain several million dollars a month.
In the aftermath of all the fuss that has justifiably been created –Reddit’s smartphone client isn’t exactly perfect for trying to weed out its competition— the company has decided that one move that would improve its public image would be to create an API payment exception for applications that are focused on accessibility.
As we mentioned in the previous news, Reddit is nothing without its users and the moderators of its subreddits.which is why while keeping access to applications designed to improve accessibility that the native application does not have as free is commendable, The moderators of the platform continue to be prevented from working correctly, removing some tools that the official application does not have either.
All this comes from the fact that Reddit plans to go public, so it has to show itself as an attractive business for its investors by generating income. However, bleeding active users would achieve just the opposite.
