    It makes me sad that a site as big as Reddit is letting down so much of it’s userbase for a quick buck

    Given that they had opportunities to actually monetize these apps (force displaying ads, charging a reasonable price for API access), it seems obvious that it’s a move toward wiping out the third-party ecosystem entirely instead of just trying to get compensated for it.

    The backtracking to allow mod tools to continue operating (those that still add irreplaceable value to the platform) while refusing to negotiate with other apps further confirms that.
