    Honestly, at this point I don’t know if they even gave more time and a lower API cost that it would bring me back over to reddit. They showed their “profits over community” stance and I just don’t want to play with their toys anymore.

      Same. Seeing his copy/paste answers (literally) makes it near impossible for me to go back. The company clearly exists to now extract as much value from the users as possible. I didn’t go there to be part of an LLM or an advertisers focus group, I went there for the community. If the community moves elsewhere, I have no problem dropping it. If the community stays, I’ll build what I can here.

        I’ve been thinking since after the AMA, it would have to be more than “we’re walking back most of the pricing to something reasonable”, it has to include Steve Huffman resigning.

      I deleted my accounts, so regardless of what happens, I can’t really see myself starting all over.
