I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

At this point I'm wondering whether people will stick to reddit even if they pull a 180 on api pricing and all. The whole smear campaign against Apollo and others just underlines they can't be trusted.

It's an interesting thought experiment, I even wonder that about myself. I started using reddit in 2007 and I don't like how attached to it I am, but I also can't deny it.

I don't think they'll 180 in any event unless there's a full management change (which has still failed in the past). Their hands are being forced by angry investor money, one of the most powerful forces in the universe, and they obviously have no clue what they're doing or how to respond... what competent business would pour gasoline on a roaring PR fire by repeatedly shoveling dishonesty and disrespect in everyone's faces?

There's an old saying, "don't shit where you eat".
