Yeah, theres a few that are gonna switch to a subscription model to pay off the ridiculous price reddit is asking. Fucking shills, man.
I can't hate. Those devs had a livelihood and real world bills to pay. I can't blame them for trying to make a bad thing work.
I will hate on the people who pay it though, since paying to use reddit after how Spez conducted himself and the disdain shown towards the user base seems absolutely ridiculous. That's some next level addiction of being mad enough to not use the official reddit app, but too addicted to not stop contributing content to the site.
I wouldn't necessarily say shills. I can't say I know the ins and outs of app development but I'm sure it could come about that a particular dev doesn't have the know how or capital to start a new project.
What I do know is that I've worked for companies who's morals I don't approve of to make ends meet.
