A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Realistically they'll probably have to just directly charge users per api calls, just like how Reddit is charging them. All it would take is a few people abusing the app (potentially with bots/automation or even just a super active account that mods a bunch of big subs) and suddenly the dev owes reddit thousands of dollars while they are only receiving $3-10 from the abusive/hyperactive users!
