Protests on the social platform have entered a new phase, with users shirking the platform’s NSFW content rules en masse. The development has some media buyers on high alert, experts say.

    Also, they make it sound like the problem is the 3rd party app users will have to pay. That’s not the issue. Probably most of those users would be happy to pay some monthly fee to keep their app running. It’s how much they are charging for the API that is the problem, and the lack of time to actually implement it.

    That and the abhorrent behavior of the reddit team, the last weeks.

      The craziest part of that to me is that they could have just charged the users directly without putting the onus for payment on the app developers.

      You want your account to be able to use the data API? You have to subscribe to Reddit+. Once you do, that account can use any Oauth App it wants to access the site.

      The fact that they put something as complicated as payment flow on third party developers is just obscene.
