Reddit Hackers Demand $4.5 Mn Ransom, Change In API Pricing

My opinion, dont piss off the customers you claim to care about. And this all goes away.
You offer a place for hackers and modders to colab on ideas, then u piss them off, and think what? Nothing will be done? You, as a company, basically committed suicide the moment u decided to price the API.
- I don’t think there would have been nearly as much pushback if the API pricing was reasonable.
  
  I don't either, it seems like a perfectly reasonable request from Reddit, if they were trying to charge something that wasn't completely ludicrous.
tbf now that i switched to the fediverse i couldn't care less about what reddit does with their API. They forced me to touch grass and i have to admit i liked it and now don't want to come back to spez
- I was hesitant until I found a Styuls theme that changed the interface to something more akin to old.reddit, where I can see 15 topics on a single page instead of 6. Once I switched to that it felt really comfortable and all of my hesitation using it vanished. Only thing missing is the amount of content to comment on, but not much I myself can do about that.
  
  Is that a theme for lemmy or kbin?
- I'm hoping they keep making it worse so the other piracy subs end up coming here. Places like the fediverse have instances that more embrace the spirit of piracy anyways.
yes change it back to zero thank you
