u/spez here, and I've been libelling a third party developer for an app called Artemis (name changed for privacy) who has done nothing but improve the platform and peoples' experience on it, not to mention forcibly ensuring his app will die so that my shareholders will be happier and get more money. AITA?

Don't listen to this guy, he's not the real deal. And definitely NTA.

Hmm I think you've convinced m-... wait a minute

Lmao took me a second to realize

YT gaping, prolapsed, tone deaf AH.

[–] WintryLemon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hilarious. YTA.

[–] StarManta@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not only are YTA, but this will not help you make more money. What would have helped you make more money would be to charge a reasonable rate for API usage. But now you have alienated the users which contributed the most to your success.

But I'm being totally reasonable! I'm just ignoring why I make the money I make and using sheer user numbers to upcharge these blackmailing assholes! How dare you blackmail me and my company!

INFO: are the proposed API fees 'fair' as compared to competitors?

edit wow, it seems after checking some of the older comments on OPs profile... that the proposed API fees are hundreds of times bigger than even the most expensive competitor, looks like this is being done to kill 3rd party apps.

YTA but Lemmy is booming

[–] dino@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It would be easy to tell that you're the asshole, but I still want to give you some advice for you so that you can fix this unpleasant situation

YTA have you considered that you contribute nothing?

But seriously, would love for AITA to migrate. Nice shitpost

[–] vivia@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Do we need it to officially migrate? We just need an AITA community with at least a small handful of users, and there's one right here.

Gee I sure hope this anonymous (let's call it Helios) app didn't try to blackmail you!

[–] Sternout@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

YTA Fuck you

[–] Kaiser@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here’s hoping AITA and MaliciousComplaince migrate.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

As u/spez, I hope they don't. I need more money, after all, and I can't get that if people keep actually caring about their user experience!
