@Acetamide I get that, but aren't these communities closing up / migrating in response to the API fees? Wouldn't it be better to keep those communities and acknowledge that Reddit is a company in a capitalist system and needs to make money to survive? Meanwhile they're probably getting countless API calls from every new LLM out there, on top of the usual 3rd party apps.
@Acetamide I don't understand why though. We live in a capitalist system, and therefore Reddit has to make money in order to survive. On the current path, Reddit won't exist AT ALL. So we either get a Reddit with some fees that devs don't like, or no Reddit at all.
