Couldn’t Reddit just fix this by providing good mod tools before they make the api switch?

Reddit couldn’t design a decent piece of software if their life depended on it.

They could have.

But by now they have probably irrecoverably destroyed their relationship to the existing community. Maybe they can build a new community.

That means working on features that don't have short terms profitability. Can't have that, Huffman has an IPO to cash out on.

But yes. This isn't just some freak accident explosion from mods. This has been bubbling up for at least 7 years and is partially a result of Reddit refusing to help their free labor continue to give free labor.

Which is sad because it WORKED. Mods just made their own tools or used the tools of other. But now Reddit is taking those tools away instead of promising better native support.
