The last panel should be the fox digging a shallow grave for Apollo

No Fox, no! Don't hurt my RiF!

[–] fox@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I was framed.

They just want to sell ads. Corporate profit moment.

Why not just charge a reasonable amount for the api then? It's more complicated than that I think.

[–] Dalek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They also want the data but I wouldn’t be surprise if it’s more complicated

[–] Belgdore@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they are doing it so they can show the investors that an API request costs A amount and each request earns B amount, and we get C amount of API requests a day so in theory they will earn C(B-A). which will be a larger number if B is bigger which is what they have changed recently. This is all about the IPO.

That makes more sense... But only if someone actually pays it. I don't see anyone paying what they're asking.

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

No, they want to steal data you create and profit from it, while offering nothing but spite in return.

If you make the data, the data belongs to you. That data has value, in spite of what Silicon Valley tech companies tell everyone. If it didn't have value, then these companies wouldn't be amongst the wealthiest businesses in the world.

[–] nulspace@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It really do be like that

[–] FlowerTree@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, that's not even the worst part of the whole API debaucle.

The issue with moderation tools alone is more than enough to shut their coffin shut, yet I don't see reddit doing anything about that at all.

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This is the issue.

We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation

So they are now going to make it so corporate shills can dilute the quality of their content with a whole lotta shit

Truly a Corpo Reddit moment.

[–] Dracocide@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

The bastard. At least pay me for your mess.

[–] amortized_cost@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

If they didn't make all stupidly nearsighted decisions they could've been a leading AI company, especially with all those language data they've been collecting almost exclusively with all the spam filterations mods been doing for free. Stupid as hell.

You know they fucked up when ifunny users shit on them

Thanks Reddit, you have promoted fediverse for free.
