  • Didn't Twitter do this back in like 2012? I remember there being a lot of anger about it back then. I don't think it was as crippling as the most recent Twitter API changes (where Reddit seems to be taking inspiration from).

    > And in 2012, Twitter introduced stricter usage limits for its API, "completely crippling" some developers. While these moves successfully increased the stability and security of the service, they were broadly perceived as hostile to developers, causing them to lose trust in the platform.

    Some discussions on HN about it back then: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1356825600&dateRange=custom&...

    I've been worried Reddit was going to head down this path since Twitter did that in 2012.

    I feel like old.reddit.com is next and that'll really seal the deal for me.
