Reddit is reaching out to moderators after tensions rose over recent policy changes and API pricing. A Reddit admin acknowledged the strained relationship and outlined new weekly feedback sessions and other outreach efforts to repair ties. However, moderators remain skeptical of Reddit’s efforts given mixed results from past initiatives. Many mods feel Reddit has been unwilling to make meaningful changes to address their concerns like more accessible API pricing or exemption for accessibility apps. After a tumultuous few months, moderators have very low expectations that Reddit’s latest efforts will result in real changes.

That would have been a fantastic idea, tbh.
All they has to do was release. Press statement thanking the 3rd party devs, acknowledging their effort and contributions, and saying they are taking reddit in a new direction that precludes the third party apps.

Indeed. Like I would have paid them too instead of leaving. That was like RIGHT THERE for monetization. I don’t know how they missed that.
