Pretty sure spez said it wasn’t the cost of running or maintaining the API that was the problem, but the opportunity cost of having users on third party apps. At least, that’s what I cleaned from Christian Selig’s post.
It is all about the data collection that they are missing from people using 3rd party apps.
That and reddit is a goldmine for training llm’s. It’s a perfect shitstorm.
