I love him for the right to repair and his troubleshooting lives are interesting, but I've stopped watching most of his videos because the format of "dude films himself while reading an article " is really boring and a waste of time.
You can still have a 3rd party app, and it can still use the API. You just pay for it.
Right to repair is because you cannot buy a 3rd party screen, and you cannot use it. You have to have Apple/John Deere/etc do it.
Yes, but can is not will.
The practical effect of this pricing will mean that almost all 3rd party apps for reddit will die, and Reddit won't get significant revenue from this change. Management knows all this, which means they are in fact trying to kill 3rd party apps, not salvage API operating costs.
