  • The last time we tried to get the internet to seriously decide on something we got Boaty McBoatface.

    And lo, the Internet looked down upon it’s handiwork, and verily, t’was awesome.

    All posts in these (business) subs can be advertisements, perfect.

    And nobody will ever go there. And, two years down the track, u/spaz will hoik up the pricing or cut them off entirely because they’re making money off of a non-profitable Reddit. “We want to work with the business subs but they’re not interested in talking to us and have all thrown their toys out of the pram and shut down”.






  • I’m a bit more cynical, given the circumstances. When I read Red Reader was getting an exception I checked it out and, as a general purpose Reddit app for Android, I found it clunky in comparison to apps like Infinity and Boost. I wonder if that was the actual rationale, i.e. choose an app that’s not as appealing an alternative to the official app so that you can cite it as justification that you are listening to app developers who “do it right” with respect to open source, accessibility etc.
