Here’s what I wrote:

This piece is so biased. To act like the mods and the content creators behind this protest are keeping the site from growing up is farcical. You know how the site could have grown up? Get some actual professionals to make their app so 3rd party creators didn’t have to do it for them. How about, since you couldn’t make an app before (or better) than the competition, you work with the 3rd party app creators and show them some respect? What the article doesn’t say is that there was about a month between Reddit dropping their (not at all “realistic” as they claimed) API pricing, and the point 3rd party apps got charged for it. This decision was made to either scrape money out of 3rd party apps or kill them altogether, not to make their users happy.

Here’s another one: actually care about your unpaid moderators enough to give them the tools they need to moderate efficiently.

The thing is, Huffman wants Reddit to “grow up” when he lies and spreads libelous claims, then gets mad when he gets caught. Sounds like he’s the one who needs to grow up
