I just removed 9 reposts here of the same freaking wheelie video. Why? Because the repost detection bot seems to be down today. This is how it will always be once the API pricing is applied.
I am NOT moderating this shit when all my tools are gone. There's 3 MILLION subscribers in this sub. Reddit is insane if they think we can keep this up without the API.
We get all worked up about this, and I think it's a justified complaint, but I know that there are 3rd parties who make an app or a portal that accesses Reddit content and then that 3rd party applies ads and other thresholds to monetize access to the Reddit content that you made, and that the portal does not create and does not add value to. It's a lot like when you create some image or video content for free, but then someone else comes along and charges access to see what you made and they get $$ while you get nothing.
I think exorbitant fees are ridiculous, but 3rd party folks charging for access to something that reddit helped to create and makes available for free, seems a lot like a scam.

Have you considered going dark, mods?
Yes, we will be participating. Actually, one of the mods here is actually one of the organizer for the blackout.
That’s good - it just wasn’t super clear and its hard to tell who is or isn’t in
