The app still works for me. But I’ve been hearing Reddit has shut down the old mod API token, but not the regular token yet. So that might explain a little. However, RedReader was granted accessibility exemption so who knows what’s going on.
Yeah, I had to tell my wife that pain while drilling is not normal. We both have high tolerance for anesthetic, but it never occured to her to ask for more.
My guess, a month or two delay doesn’t fit into their timeline. It shows with the rush to API change, and the “convenient” July 1 (3rd quarter) start date. They’re going all out to prove Fidelity’s valuation downgrade wrong, and show a full quarter of Reddit’s revenue potential.
If I recall, many top posts that mentioned lemmy and kbin to try and do this were deleted.
And that $60m is likely chump change compared to their potential to make off data mining.
The big guys keep interfering with lawsuits and disputes over contracts. They’ll probably delay the thing by a decade.
