1 year agoI don’t think it’s wrong for Spez to charge for API access, but the rates he’s vowing to charge are excessive and clearly designed to nuke third-party apps from their ecosystem.
As for how I’d make money from Reddit in his shoes, I’d:
- Add more features for Reddit Premium, like being able to view more than 1,000 items on the front page, video uploads in comments, or enhanced search functionality.
- Add OnlyFans-style subscriptions or revenue sharing for partnered subreddits/users, with a 90% to 10% cut between content creators and Reddit.
- Bring back RPAN as a full time streaming platform to compete with the likes of Twitch/Kick.
Seems very coincidental that he started some twitter beef with Greta Thunberg right before he was arrested.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he got tipped off that GRETA (The Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings) were building a case against him, then being the weapons-grade moron that he is, assumed they meant Greta Thunberg.
