Now Reddit are coming for the individual personal subreddits

How is Reddit abusing them? By charging $0.24 for 1000 API requests? By enforcing year old rules they created because mods power tripped and users complained?

I mean, maybe the outward hostility?

Or the absolutely abysmal and tonedeaf responses every chance they had?

Or the easily disproven libel? https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/143sho8/admins_c...

That's been doubled and tripled down on? https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/09/reddit-ceo-doubles-down-on...

Or literally changing or removing user's posts and comments? https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14fafpp/the_admin...

That all sounds abusive to me. If anything, the API price was the straw and focusing on it and ignoring literally everything that happened since is just being disingenuous.

Making apps effectively unusable after also making the mobile website effectively unusable is very bad behavior to your users.
