    I don’t get it. Wasn’t the whole API thing supposed to be about money? Reddit is killing one of its sources of income!

    That doesn’t even make business sense! What the hell is going on inside Spez’s mind?

      I’ve seen rumors that api leaks have indicated that the new thing will be tipping posts directly.

      Which is EXACTLY what that site needs - repost bots being financially incentivesed. I guess that’s one way to get your usage back - Reddit started as just two dudes posting links to each other and will end as ten thousand bots reposting those links.
