    Meh, I’m pretty sure they know what they’re doing, they can’t be stupid enough to believe that asking that much money to indie devs is realistic, they just want a way to kill other apps to force people using their official app.

      Agreed they want to kill alternatives. I just think that done right they could make more money than now by not alienating part of the user base.

        Agreed. They’ve just made the most tone-deaf update in /r/modnews as well that goes on to address zero concerns users have, while sending canned responses with zero actual useful information to the few comments they have replied to.

        It’s really sad to see Reddit in this state, as a long time user.

        Yeah, they could’ve done that, I suppose they prefer lose users than giving us a fair deal.
