In his first interview since thousands of so-called subreddits went dark in protest. Huffman said he is not going to reverse his plan to start charging for outside access to Reddit data.
Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.
“And the opportunity cost of not having those users on our platform, on our advertising platform, is really significant,”
By “significant”, he means 3%??? That is not factoring how much profit these 3% of people’s content can provide.
So all of these fuzz just to have a one time increase of less than 3% of the profit, even at the cost of more than a million (57 million * 3%) user’s privacy, that is freaking ridiculous.
