    Awful takes on the issue. They did not even try to show the protestors’ side. No mention of the astronomical pricing of the API or that the main Reddit app is subpar compared to the third-party apps.

    Completely misses the point that the moderators rely on these third party tools to moderate for free and that reddit will turn into a cesspool of spam without them.
