"This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website."

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.

None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."

The username of the commenter is so ironic. The guy who invented transcendental meditation did the same thing to meditation that spez did to reddit's API. TM is meditation's superfluous third nipple and heavily monetized. Anyone can meditate for free, but for it to be considered "transcendental", you must pay a certified teacher and learn through them. I guess some people just like it when people are charged for things unnecessarily.

In other words the person admits to being ableist as the API change is killing apps that help those with disabilities, unlike reddits app
