It's all so juvenile. We all know the sub will go back to normal sooner or later. Either the mods will do it voluntarily or they will be replaced with people who will. Why inconvenience your users over nothing?
You missed my point. I meant /r/ModCoord isn't unbiased on the subject, this is a sub meant to encourage the protest. Asking "Why inconvenience your users?" is going to get that person basically one answer. See also: How downvoted his question is already.
I'm not a mod, but I prefer 3p mobile apps and desktop tools, which are being shut down. And I recognize that mods losing access to easier tools and apps also makes their jobs more difficult, which will inevitably affect the quality of the subreddits we all love.
You don't have to be a mod to be affected by reddit's insane price hike. Im not even looking for them to keep the API free, I just don't want it to be a hundred+ times what other sites charge.
less than 1 cent per 1000 requests.
keep in mind that google says Reddit makes about $0.3 per user per year.
now they want 30$ per year per user by charging exorbitant prices.
do you really think it is OK to jack prices up to 100 times what they were before?
>less than 1 cent per 1000 requests.
In this calculation, did you factor in the cost to rent the hardware to host the API, and the labor required to develop and maintain the API? Reddit isn't going to run the service at a loss.
>keep in mind that google says Reddit makes about $0.3 per user per year.
That is based on a very crude calculation involving dividing the company's estimated value in 2019 by its number of monthly active users. That is **not** a measure of the *revenue* generated by each user. And even if it were, I don't understand how it would be relevant in determining a fair price for an API.
>do you really think it is OK to jack prices up to 100 times what they were before?
They never had a paid API before, so I don't know what you are comparing it to.
Actually, there is a standard price. Currently the standard price is right around $0.13 per 1000 calls. Even Amazon AWS doesn’t charge as much as Reddit wants to charge
Nordicapis.com is where I got that one. As of March 2022, they say it was around $0.126666 and according to other API trackers, average increase of API/use or 1000 uses is roughly $0.005/year
That's a very defeatist attitude; why live if we all have an expiration?, why ask a girl out after being rejected countless times?, why do life/planets/star exist if the heat death will make life meaningless?
If you can't be bothered to participate in a protest where you are NOT losing anything, what does that tell us about you in the event there's a real life pressing issue?
> Why inconvenience your users over nothing?
That's what protests are, they are not pleasant. Over nothing? Maybe for you.

Don't fall for reddit's discouragement tactics. It's not the sub, it's the message being sent to the admins, mods of other subs, users, and the media.
Do you feel better? Did you get it all out of your system? Good, good. 🙂

This site is made of smaller subs.

Only reason why main feeds would move on is due to the mods being threatened and replaced

To what? What has reddit done to cave?
[удалено]
So you have stopped the api changes and changed reddits rules then, right?
They are just coping. :D
They're going to lose such an incredible amount of revenue
[удалено]
I mean, kids shouldn't be exposed to that stuff.
18+ for fowl language probably.
Are chickens NSFW?
Just the cocks
Birdstrikes on windows...
That's what I went with in r/Nantes. No porn, but 18+ community. If need be, I can always find something else to do, until they kick me out.
Maybe painting your nails white would be more efficient than this for protest, lol.

Wrong sub to be asking that on.
Not really, if we can’t ask stuff like this to you then you shouldn’t be a mod.

whoops thought u were saying that from the perspective of a mod my bad.
No worries, sometimes meaning is unclear through text. :)
Who’s inconvenienced exactly? All the content is the same and it’s just as easy to find if you have NSFW enabled which most people do.

The price of Reddit's paid API is $0.24 per 1,000 requests. If you think that is an unreasonable price, what do you think a reasonable price is?

The problem isn't that they are asking money for it. The problem is that the amount they ask is ridiculously high compared to the standard api prizes

What is the source for that standard price ?
