I think that’s more an issue of design. Apollo made it pretty clear there were collapsed comments.
That’s really scummy of Stitcher. Wow.
And I totally get the anti IHR monopoly thing!
Thank you for explaining your feelings. :)
May I ask why? I never used Stitcher but a few podcasts I listen to had premium on it. And why do you dislike IHR? Several podcasts I listen to are IHR productions. :(
The turn signal video is what got me too! After that one I’ve watched videos on so many things I didn’t think I’d care about at all. His chest freezer and heat pump ones have also directly influenced my life.
I watched that video (twice) before ever owning a dishwasher. I bought a house this year which has one, and if I hadn’t watched his video I would have continued hand washing, believing it to be better! I live by myself so it does feel silly having to wait days before I have enough of a load, but he’s right even that days-old stuff comes off fine.
Keep in mind too, that even with the paid API usage to the best of my knowledge the 3PA still will not have NSFW/porn content in the feed. How many people are going to be willing to spend $5-10/mo while also having reduced content?
HobbyDrama. I wouldn’t have anything to contribute so I haven’t started it myself, but I really enjoyed reading the in depth writings about niche hobby blowouts.
and whether the fees Reddit makes of API access makes up for it.
Are there any 3PA that are even able to afford them? I got the vibe the fees weren’t ever meant to actually end up being paid, but were meant in a roundabout way to block 3PA by pricing them out.
Yeah, it was hard enough for me to walk away from my small hobby subs as a user, I can’t imagine the difficulty as a moderator. They’re usually some of the most invested in the subject to want to become a moderator in the first place, and then they’ve devoted all the time and energy to it for the love of the community. I don’t envy them either.
Well said. It’s easy to say “let that shithole burn” for me, as a person who just used it for entertainment and mild education. But there are integral support communities that I hate seeing suffer.
