      Y’know, if they had walked everything back - or even just reduced API costs - right away, no one would have left. Now their top content creators have left, and nothing they do will repair the damage.

          I’m spending as much time here as I did on Reddit. I’d like to see a bigger python community and military spouse community, but that’ll come I’m sure.

        An even better strategy for Reddit would have been to prevent Spez from making public statements about it. If the protestations had been ignored it would have blown over quickly.
