In all fairness, that’s how Twitter did things from what I can understand.
Of course, that can be quite the payroll expense, especially with a weird model with a panoply of interest-based domains.
I’m sure the Reddit employees will be up to it and has all the equipment necessary for it. That protest was about the amazing internal tooling the mods loved using, right?
Pretty sure spez said it wasn’t the cost of running or maintaining the API that was the problem, but the opportunity cost of having users on third party apps. At least, that’s what I cleaned from Christian Selig’s post.
Well good for them, they can have a lot of fun paying reddit staff to be the mods now.

If they think that their API costs were high imagine how expensive paid moderation is.

But man is he beating around the bush about that. Sprinkling “but Apollo won’t play ball :(” to shift the blame. Fuck Spez.
It is all about the data collection that they are missing from people using 3rd party apps.
That and reddit is a goldmine for training llm’s. It’s a perfect shitstorm.
What is llm’s?
Large language model, think ChatGPT.
Eh, that’s what India is for.
Thank you for doing the needful
