    Isn’t the official Reddit app also just a third party app that they bought 😅. It really starts to sound like he just tries to say anything that could help divide uninformed users from third party app developers, even if it makes no sense and everybody with some knowledge about Reddits history knows it is a lie.

    I mean, this is just an outright lie right? Multiple devs have talked about how the Reddit team has been in contact to warn in advance of feature changes, and they have most certainly been in the team’s mind over the last few years from the time of Alien Blue to today.

      The actual pricing that Reddit was going to charge ($12k/50million calls) was never shared until 30 days before it was set to go live. If the pricing hadn’t been modeled after Twitter and been more reasonable, then 3rd party app developers wouldn’t have been happy about the 30 day notice but it would have at least been possible to hit that deadline.
