Relay for Reddit now charges based on how much you use it - eviltoast

Relay was (yup) one of the third party apps that survived the API-calypse. But this sort of model is unsustainable in the long run, given that the competitor (the broken native app) is free and unlimited.

The obvious future monopoly of the broken native app is bad for the platform in the long run, given that Reddit always sucked off ideas from third party apps; and now there’s no incentive whatsoever to make it better, after Reddit Inc. killed the better competitors.

      Whynim seeing this on Memmy ?

      If you meant “why I’m seeing this on Lemmy?”: because this is a community about Reddit going downhill. That’s it.

      Gotta love it

      Ditto - I want to see Reddit gone. I wish that it happened earlier, but beggars can’t be choosers.
