I’m not sure what that says about the quality of the Memmy team or that of Reddit or both.

    Fuck you, don’t give reddit the accolade of being honest.

    They literally said they weren’t trying to kill third party apps. They literally said they wouldn’t do what Twitter did. They literally said any pricing would be based in reality.

    Yes, this was all a lie and we now know they just wanted to kill all apps, but don’t let them look even 5% less shitty by pretending they were honest about their intentions.

      I meant they said they wanted to drive traffic to their official site to sell ads and scrape data. Maybe they just said it to the Apollo dev and he leaked it? I don’t remember, but I do remember reading them saying the quiet part out loud.

        No, all they said in terms of their goals was that they needed to make a profit.

        Anything else, you better have a really good source, because then the Apollo dev contradicts your story
