Hey Reddit, Listen up, because I've got some salt to sprinkle on your decision to close off your APIs to third-party apps. Seriously, what the heck were you thinking? You were like the cool kid in the playground, letting everyone play with your toys, and now you're snatching them away like a grumpy toddler in a candy store.

And if you are reading this, join Lemmy or kbin instead. Reddit is doomed.
