While the journalist isn’t wrong about Reddit’s leadership, they yet again miss the real issue: It’s not about Reddit wanting to charge for their API. Look at the absurd cost, the ridiculously short timeframe, the refusals to negotiate with anyone, and lack of parity in their own app and moderator tools.

Their plan is clearly to kill off 3rd party apps and force everyone through their preferred channels so they can monetize it better. Anything else they say is just a lie to cover up that fact.

IMHO, it’s still a success. Reddit’s behavior has provided clear proof of the need for an alternative. Plenty have taken notice. The winds of change are blowing…and it is likely not in Reddit’s favor in the long term.

I’ve tried to use it on my personal MacBook before, but the MacOS UI seems clunkier than what I’ve seen on Windows. Also, I have run into a few compatibility/layout problems with Word Docs and Excel Files. Lastly, the icon is basically just a white rectangle which I find offputting for some reason.
