  • In the case of “legit” apps that are following the new rules, they will be fine. The dev will likely have knowledge of an upcoming API change before it’s released so they can update their app for it before it breaks anything.

    The problem with revanced apps is there is no dev making these updates, at least not that I’m aware of.



  • Yeah, Reddit hasn’t really changed the API itself with these recent changes, they just made the keys to it cost money.

    An API is basically a communication standard between the app and Reddit, that standard changes as new features are added or decisions are made. The app might make a request like getvideo and expect to get a video with the .redditvid extension. Now let’s say Reddit decided to fix their shitty video player and now they start rolling out a new video format, .redditvidgood, and update the API so that getvideo returns this new type.

    Now the app makes a getvideo request and gets a .redditvidgood video, but it has no idea how to handle this format, it’s still expecting the old .redditvid format. At best the app will fail to load these new videos but still function otherwise, at worst the app will crash any time it tries to load a video. In this example, even with the best case scenario most videos don’t work anymore. It’s only a matter of time before a change completely breaks all apps that don’t update for the current API, and only a dev with the source code can make those updates to the app.






  • we are very screwed, in large part because of people like you, enthusiastically volunteering to help with propaganda in support of corporate real estate and retail tycoons.

    Where in the hell did you get that from? What does anything I said have to do with real estate?

    you could be part of the solution by wearing a mask.

    Me being the only person wearing a mask isn’t going to help solve anything.

    Did you seriously just compare a bad flu virus to HIV? You are just being ridiculous now.

    Do you think it’s safe outside for an immune compromised person if im the only one wearing a mask? No, obviously it’s not. Me staying a mask is going to have no effect on their safety in public. If I went over to this person’s house, sure, I would wear a mask if they wanted me to, but in public where nobody is wearing one it’s kinda pointless.


  • If getting sick is that high of a risk, do you really think relying on everyone in public to do something is worth the risk? If it only takes one person not doing something to put yourself at risk, you will be at risk, because you just can’t trust everyone in public to do it.

    Yeah, I’m not writing a mask for the rest of my life, sorry. Nobody else is wearing one, everyone is agreeing to be out in public without a mask, that’s just how life is now.

    If everyone around me is not wearing masks, the chances that me specifically will be the cause of someone getting so sick they have disabilities is extremely low. If everyone not wearing a mask would infect dozens or hundreds as you claim, we are already screwed.
