This is just me, personally, but I hate Reddits stance on the API situation about AI learning, and how it's not profitable to offer the data for free. Excuse me, the data doesn't even exist without the users. I get we are all data-harvested, but to completely pull the rug like this is unforgivable. I mean the TPA's were the only way I interacted with Reddit. For me, it's not about the ads, the money or anything, it's deliberately killing the TPA to drive their profits up. I mean fuck, I'd pay a subscription to access reddit if it kept TPA open. But nah, gonna act like they earned my data and are entitled to it, no thanks.

This is probably a dumb comment, sorry. I can't word very well and I don't usually get out what's going through my head

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
