In the internal letter to their employees, spez said :
The way I see it some promise has been done by spez and they definitely won’t change their minds.
Third party apps are just dead that’s just how it is.
They’re simply not going to be able to get that work done in the timeframe they said it’d be done. They’re going to proudly claim that they’ve shipped it but when they release it it’ll have the narrowest possible scope you can imagine - actually, no, it’ll be narrower than even that. It’s going to be missing major functions because reddit simply has no idea the things they need to put in, much less how to accomplish it.
Plus it’s going to be super-bug-filled. But they’re going to declare “Mission Accomplished”, and say that anyone who doesn’t like the new app is just anti-reddit, doesn’t know understand what they’ve released, doesn’t understand how to work things, etc, etc.
Fuck spez.
"The Chinese that bought our company demand we track everything. They gave us until July first to close down 3rd party apps or they pull our funding and reddit is dead. " Probably what is going on.
Sounds like the kind of thing you’d say with the expectation, and I dare say, hope that it would be leaked.
