“This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.”

    Predictable and moronic reactions.

    1. Some people just love to feel superior by mocking people who demand change
    2. Some people love to feel superior by pretending they knew that this would happen
    3. Some people love to feel superior by implying the other side are clueless kids, hippies, idiots who know nothing about the real world.

    I think the whole reddit issue can be summed up very concisely. The users liked reddit because it was simple to use, free of ads and other distracting bullshit. That’s how they got big. But there’s no money in that. For some reason, investors still threw money at it. Now, they want their money back and reddit has 2000 employees. They need to find more and more ways to make money, which effectively kills the reason reddit got popular in the first place.

    TL;DR don’t invest gazillions in a site simply because it has many users.
