Source: Reddit CEO lashes out on protests, moderators and third-party apps
Summary
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman defended the company’s decision to charge third-party apps after backlash, although protests have caused thousands of subreddits to go dark. A policy change earlier in June revealed the social media platform would charge $20m a year to access its API, which has led to many apps shutting down. In interviews, Huffman discussed profitability and changing site rules while showing reluctance to budge on the API changes.
