This is kind of fascinating. I can’t actually see how Reddit comes out of this looking anything but even worse than they do now.
we are living through some very historical events
Only if they do something really drastic, like say that they've heard users concerns and are now buying out Apollo, RIF, etc and promoting them to official Reddit clients alongside the existing Reddit app, offer a free tier for the smaller apps, and come up with a Bill of Rights for users, mods, and app developers that promises that something like this could never happen again.
Along with a lot of public apologizing. A lot.
Somehow, sadly, I don't see this happening.
