Unraveling the Threads: Reddit's Descent into Chaos
In a hunt for profitability, Reddit's begun limiting access to its API behind a paywall, functionally killing extremely popular third-party apps like Apollo and Infinity. The policy change's started an entire revolt, with volunteer moderators on the site taking some of their subreddits private, ensnaring the website in a battle between its administrators and its community. So how did this all begin? And how is it demonstrative of a larger issue with the Internet and access to free information?Journalist Alex Pareene, the former editor-in-chief at Gawker and a writer at Salon, joined Jacob to discuss how the Reddit saga is impacting the Internet as a whole. "It became much more about these communities and about the user generated content, which has become so important to Reddit. But it's sort of important to the Internet in general. A lot of people were very seriously saying all of their Google searches were broken when the subreddits were down because everything, if it was a particular tech support issue or all these other subjects, that you wanted to Google these things, the first page of links would've a bunch of Reddit links."You can read Alex's piece on Defector here: https://defector.com/the-last-....page-of-the-internet Alex on Twitter here.
