Surprised anyone is developing against reddit as a platform at all. Relying on a platform in general is risky...but Reddit?!?

It has a single redeeming feature - network effects on good user conent. That's it...literally everything else about it is a dumpsterfire, including how they treat devs.

This was a fun personal project, not a business, and it sounds like they were aware it was going to get shut down the whole time.
Reddit barely generates good user content any more. They killed the golden goose, and their egg business is inevitably collapsing.
