  • For me it was mostly about accessibility, because reddit essentially told disabled people they aren’t welcome. So … bye

    But also the attempt at monetizing FUCKING EVERYTHING is pissing me off. I miss the internet where most things were free. I am not going to pay a subscription to read an aggregation of links. If I have to pay I am going to choose something more fun over social media.





  • To be honest, it looks like their attempt at monetizing the API wasn’t even turned on yet. They just blocked certain API keys from being able to use oauth. Which is what broke RedReader despite it supposed to be spared for blind people.

    All third party apps are still working, you just can’t log in. Apps who decided to charge a monthly fee still have no pricing from reddit and are still operating for free until reddit figures out wtf they are doing, or at least that’s what I’ve gathered based on the announcements from those apps.

    NSFW content was supposed to be removed from the API yesterday but still nothing 🤷‍♀️




  • I think the more realistic way it would be handled is that the site you published your content on puts in its terms of service that you agree that stuff you put on their site can be used for AI training, and openAI buys the data from them, either via an API key or a data dump or whatever.

    But I see merit in not allowing companies to profit off of whatever content already exists without any sort of consent. And I don’t agree with the idea it’s like a child learning… You aren’t raising a child to sell a subscription to their knowledge and profit off of it
