This is embarrassing.

What a weak revenue stream. Imagine being a business, investing in a subreddit, only for the subreddit to be inundated by bots.

Reddit is going the way of Twitter and it's astounding to watch.

Reddit post reading limit, when?

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

When the surviving 3rd party app users hit their limit for API calls you will absolutely get this message and probably an option to upgrade for $$$ too.

The Narhwal dev said this is how he's approaching it. You get so many calls with a subscription and then have to top off with more if you hit it. So Prepaid mobile plans are coming to your favorite 3rd party apps for a website that's free! People are desperate to give Reddit money even after all this.

Lol so spez found a (short term) way to get mods to not just work for free, but to pay him for the privilege of becoming his slaves! Truly genius.

Holy ducking shit! So you’re not just paying a sub to use Reddit, you’re paying rate limit charges as well?

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
