Nah, there is no more concerted effort from the mods to get people out of Reddit. The mods that still wanted to take action were kicked out, the others that remained are too afraid to lose their “power mod” status or were appointed by Reddit itself to take charge.
it will take some other new event to take place for people to get mobilized again. Reddit won that battle.
No, they won’t be and the majority of people didn’t care. Which is kind of my point?
That will not happen. If they kill the API for good and do the same thing that happened at Twitter, all the bots from Reddit are going to disappear and it’s going to cause a hit on Reddit traffic.
The number of people who cared enough about third-party apps is not enough to affect their bottom line, so as long as they managed to get (say, 80% of the Apollo/Sync/Infinity users into the official client is enough)
