In an article published to the Verge I recently read, it talks about the fact that the CEO doesn’t honestly care that Apollo and other apps are leaving. It is known that the application Reddit has doesn’t do the full job of moderating.
If you’re still protesting the high costs, great! I support you! Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: Reddit ‘was never designed to support third-party apps’/ is the article. If it was never built to support third party apps, than why the hell did you allow it to begin with?
An API, Mr. CEO, is there to allow developers to build whatever it supports. If they build apps that make it easier for the blind and other disabled people use your service, than that is what it’ll allow. If people build an app to better moderate their community better because your main Reddit app does not offer the tools they need, they’ll build it.
But to basicly shit on users that have used something like Apollo which has been valued at the fact your app is shit is just rediculous. You really don’t care about your users, its all about the money.
As I’ve stated, I’m not a Reddit customer, but I’m coming from the outside reading these articles and your decisions will cost you tons of users.
Your web site, according to the blind users, is shit too. You do have an old.reddit.com site I’ve seen stuff from using Mastodon, but its shit too. Was looking for a heading to find to read the content that it linked to, but the site doesn’t work that way. It might be accessible, sure, but since I don’t know the interface, I closed the browser and went about my day.
I figure at some point, you’ll figure it out. Might I remind you that you failed to work with Apolo, they wanted to work with you.
Good luck, asshole!
