This is typical Reddit behavior. Every time they piss users off they do an AMA where they don't actually answer any questions to do the "We see you, we hear you!" B.S. routine.
Kbin has a lot of traction as a true reddit replacement from what I've been seeing. Lemmy is okay, but the tankie dev is offputting for some. I'm personally looking at Tildes. When Twitter shut off their API, I swapped over to mastodon and haven't looked back. The instance I'm on is actually quite pleasant and reminds me of the before-times when social media still had corners/niches that weren't complete cesspools. Tildes has this same energy for me currently.
Won't happen. They already bought Alien Blue and changed that to the official app. LOL.
It's like asking wal-mart to use a corner of their sidewalk to sell hotdogs, and they want to charge you 3/4 of the store's lease.
Closest this analogy has gotten to accurate.
It's not the fact that they want to charge. It's the fact that it would add up to far more than this guy is earning from his own app, and he only has 30 days to come up with a new model for making money.
Don't worry, the forums will be shut down and moved to Discord shortly.
Imagine caring about an app dying that you don’t even use or have no material impact on you in any way, shape or form, and pretend to know more on how to keep Apollo afloat Than dev himself or idk, a licensed/qualified financial advisor? Maybe pay some attention to understand the nuance?
Better path costs money and time to design, to evaluate, to test, before seeing any result. Instant gratification is so much more satisfying than careful long term planning. Humans are notoriously bad at this. Everyone want quick bucks over long Term benefits. However, the other side of the coin is things are running so fast and so intense, there’s no time to articulate a careful path, to consider everything, to plan for the future. Hence the vicious cycle of short-sighted approach to keep us afloat while sacrificing the future, reinforcing the notion, rinse and repeat.
I’d argue this is not just about third party apps. It’s companies collectively ignoring what made them to this day and think they have unlimited power and can boss users around whatever they like. Yes, stakeholders give them money to run the company, but that’s only half the story. Apple would not survive long if they cannot sell a single iPhone for a year I assume, and Reddit would die quickly if no one uses their platform.
var $domNodeToIterateOver = $('.del-button .option .yes'),
currentTime = 0,
timeInterval = 1000;
$domNodeToIterateOver.each(function() {
var _this = $(this);
currentTime = currentTime + timeInterval;
setTimeout(function() {
_this.click();
}, currentTime);
});Just an FYI, 1000ms wait is not needed, simply tune it down to eg. 100ms.
var $domNodeToIterateOver = $('.del-button .option .yes'),
currentTime = 0,
timeInterval = 100;
$domNodeToIterateOver.each(function() {
var _this = $(this);
currentTime = currentTime + timeInterval;
setTimeout(function() {
_this.click();
}, currentTime);
});
Horrible analogy and not even accurate. Reddit made the APIs available in hopes that developers would make products without cost to Reddit which in turn would make Reddit more popular and increase its business. Apollo did that and now after eight years Reddit wants to shut the developers down by charging an unreasonable fee and not work with developers to give them time to come me up with a plan.
I like this, but not quite. It is more like Walmart realized in the beginning that it had a crappy bus service so it encouraged people to invest in developing transportation services that bring people to Walmart by offering them access to the parking lot and a drop off lane knowing that would only increase sales at the stores. That worked beautifully for eight years, but then Walmart got greedy and decided it doesn’t care about its customer preferences in getting to their stores or the transportation companies investment based on Walmarts encouragement and now suddenly wants to charge the private transportation services a high fee for access to its parking lots and won’t work with the transportation companies on a solution that doesn’t bankrupt the transportation companies.
