Will Reddit ever cave in? (lemm.ee)

Exactly as the title says, do you guys think Reddit will buckle and at least be more reasonable or maybe even reverse their current decisions?

Edit: if not lemmy to the moon 🚀

I'm not convinced it'll completely back down but I suspect there is a chance they'll lower the pricing structure to a more 'reasonable' amount.

If I put my tinfoil hat on I'd say this was the plan from the start;

  • Announce something ludicrous
  • Get the users a bit fired up
  • Backtrack to what you'd always planned
  • Play it all off like "See, we listen to you guys, aren't we good?"

I just can’t see that being the plan with how heavily spez burned bridges with some of the app devs.

Accusing the Apollo dev of blackmail then doubling down once caught in the lie pretty much guarantees Apollo won’t continue with any pricing level.
