Hundreds of people are putting money on whether the company will back-track on its new API pricing policy or oust its CEO Steve Huffman, BetUS told Insider.
The online betting company said there was “very close heat” over whether Reddit will reverse its new pricing policy.
“So far, the betting public seems very much “at odds” and are undecided on this one so far,” it said.
Almost all bets have been on Huffman still being CEO by December 31, BetUS added.
Not gonna happen. They’ll stick by the API changes, maybe with some tweaks. The main structure will be the same, I’m sure.
My thought is that, even if they did reverse the pricing changes, would any of the third party apps stick around? Apollo, Sync, and RiF have all announced shutdowns and I doubt pricing changes would change that at this point. I could be wrong.
reddit is fucked. it can only die now. infested with right wing idiot bloggers.
And bots. And ads. And only fans ads. Need I go on?
And the fediverse isn’t? We must see vastly different versions of the fedi.
But in fairness, I also see a lot of far left idiot bloggers here. Books balance, all is good.
I know at least Apollo would not be returning, the dev made that clear when they asked about extensions that they would not be putting the bot on the platform and that regardless of if an extension was given the project was being sunset.
Agreed especially with the rumored IPO they need something to show for it.
Spez is a sacrifice. He says all the villain words, gets everyone to hate him, then he is fired with a severence so reddit can give mods their bots back and call it a day while not addressing any of the wider concerns.
You gonna put your money where your mouth is?
