Exploring Reddit’s third-party app environment 7 months after the APIcalypse::Apollo dev: "I don’t believe Reddit’s leadership... cares about developers anymore."

RedReader gets a barely-glance in a single sentence. A single dev (and with users providing PRs) has one of the best, and most unknown, apps for over a decade now. Really? QuantumBadger also put up quite a fight in favor of other developers, was openly critical about the changes and the handling of the situation, and was smart enough to record calls to prove that what reddit was saying was 180 from what they were doing. And all this could be gleaned from 15 minutes on their subreddit. Cmon, if you're going to do 'investigative journalism', investigate each equally, fucks sake.

I guess Ars writers can't be too critical to Reddit. They're owned by the same parent company (condé nast) afterall. The fact that they're even allowed to cover this topic by their corporate overlord is already a miracle.

S'all good, Capitalism subsumes criticism of itself and sells it back to us.
