📣 I want to debunk Reddit’s claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support
I wanted to address Reddit’s continued, provably false statements, as well as answer some questions from the community, and also just say thanks.
(Before beginning, to the uninitiated, “the Reddit API” is just how apps and tools talk with Reddit to get posts in a subreddit, comments on a post, upvote, reply, etc.)

Steve Huffman on June 15th: “These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free. And that free comes at the expense of our other users and our business. That’s what this is about. It can’t be free.”
