What it says on the tin, really. I think this is going to be an issue when they get around to the smaller communities… It’s going to suck majorly, as most people’s default will remain with reddit for community discussion like this…

      Beg to differ there. Reddit has shown it’s hand. They want to profit off free content while giving nothing back to the people who create that content. Back them at your peril.

        The actual users or the community I should say, is not profiting off of anything. Don’t conflate the users of the service or app that is Reddit with its management.

          I didn’t conflate them. I never said the users were trying to profit. Reddit is trying to profit off user generated content that is free given and moderated while whining that others are using the api they gave away for free to do the same thing, except those developers actually provide better user experiences and accessibility than Reddit does. Reddit has shown that the only thing that matters is the money they can extract from the free labor of others, so staying on that platform is acceptance of those consequences.

            I know what Reddit is doing. What I’m saying is that the users and the community in many of the subreddits are not to blame and should not be blamed or punished by users who decided they no longer want any part or reddit.
