Ok so something most people are missing, spez is only a small part of Reddit.
They have other managers, board members, etc
Remember when Reddit threw Poe under the bus, they ruined her career and threw her away.
After they fired her the Reddit protests stopped.
Learn who else is a part of Reddits management too and raised shit.
I'll have to find it, but I remember seeing some comments/ posts explaining how it was Huffman himself who was really the one pushing to kill off 3rd party apps.
Plus, he's the one who was lying about the Apollo dev's comments as well as editing other users comments.
3rd party apps are not compatible with making $$$. Anyone in the business or shareholders who want to make profit will be behind killing 3rd party apps.
Having third party apps is very profitable if those apps are used by thousands of unpaid moderators giving away free labour.
And one of the main reasons they do this labour is because these apps make it very efficient to moderate a huge number of posts.
Reddit is not a profitable venture. It's a charitable one run by the users who prop it up.
