Since I don't see a link to it in the discussion, here's an internal email from yesterday that has made its way to the Verge: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman
Glad to know we're just 'noise', lol.
One minute our content (through the API) is "very valuable" and "needs to be monetized". The next we're just "noise".
If you can't be monetized, you're just noise. They don't see their community as people, they see them as data to be harvested and eyes to be advertised to.
This is the exact message that was sent, and it's sickening
lol it's hard to do that when you aren't making any money, Steve.
Dam this makes my blood boil. My sub went dark for no reason!!
