This is one of those things where, I totally feel for all the big tech employees who’ve been laid off, and it is ultimately the fault of the companies, but like, that’s just too much.
The API was a fair trade. When they killed it and decided to make LLM money, that was it for me. It wouldn’t matter if they paid me for my contributions (which they aren’t, they want redditors to pay for their exit with stock), the API and free access was the social contract. Its gone. Reddit can fuck off at this point.
2000
Reddit has over 2000 employees.

Reddit doesn’t need 150 people at best, and you really don’t need 2,000 programmers let alone 30. They’re all doing ad sales probably.
LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF REDDIT’S ADS AND TELL ME THAT’S A GOOD USE OF 2,000 PEOPLE
And so many unpaid moderators… Which is an acceptable trade when the site isn’t cashing in on your work.

Wtf are they even doing.
Not moderating that’s for sure
At least until they can automate them
