I'm impressed with the content people are posting here so far and the experience is not all that different from browsing reddit! It really does beg the question of what is reddit offering that is worth Devs actually paying for an API?

Basically nothing of unique value really comes from Reddit the company. Their platform is easily replicable (as you can see from the MANY Reddit clones other than Lemmy) and their staff are glorified powermods and repost bots. The only thing Reddit has of value is its communities, and those got where they are despite Reddit's best efforts.

That’s not fair. They have uniquely shitty mobile apps and mod tools for their own forums.
