Spez is free to do whatever, but he was such an asshole about it. Especially when he lied about Christian Selig blackmailing him, and when Christian Selig gave the call as proof that he didn't, Spez tried to make him look the bad guy by accusing him of "leaking calls"... he even said before that he wouldn't charge for API in 2023 but then he made an abrupt announcement that he would in ONE MONTH, with high fees. Developers would need time to readjust their app to optimise the use of API calls and one month is not enough. Why can't Spez just be DIRECT that he wants to discontinue 3rd party apps? Why was he so wishy washy and vague instead of actually telling others what the hell he wants? Then he had some sort of fantasy where we are his "serfs"... which is kinda disgusting. Look man, I've only used 3rd party apps for a few months and could return to the official app with no difficulty, but I seriously don't like being under that person. At least on the Fediverse I can choose who my admin is. (Kbin btw)

Spez was the problem, not the reddit community.
What karma? Spez started it by being a liar 🤷♂️ so I say it is natural that people stop supporting him.
Considering most of reddit's comments are either one-liners and jokes, it's not that hard to get upvotes as a bot... but how'd you spot one? I'm afraid that I didn't learn the ability to distinguish between bot and human.
17/20. I got 90% in detecting fake news, but 80% in identifying real news...
LOL what?? That's insane
I don't know how it would have differed from Reddit in this regard, but it would be quite suitable for a forum website to give thorough reviews of books. Some people give reviews of books on Tiktok where they just say the main topic of the book and that it's 'good'... good in what way? And like what other commenters have mentioned, some love too for nonfiction. Maybe we could even have discussions for fanfiction?
It's almost a relief that I was (relatively) recently introduced to 3rd party apps that it made me care enough to move to Kbin in protest of Reddit's actions. The future there is bleak.
That may be the case, so I think it's a temporary answer to this mystery. Though recently some of my comments ranging from 7 and 10 months ago (update: as of 6/19/23 my 18 days old comments are now reappearing) have been reappearing again, so it's become a kind of a whack-a-mole situation right now.
You couldn't even trust redditors to read past the headlines!
Chrome is a memory hog compared to Firefox lol
