    Just look at the actual actions of the admins. They’re removing mods for privatizing subs. They’re restoring erased content. They’re shadow banning comments critical of the system. They’re forcefully reverting changes to sub rules.

    They aren’t trying to get 20 million from the likes of a 500k/year company like Apollo, they’re trying to get 20 million from billionaire companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. that are maybe more willing to shell out that kind of money for an emerging technology. Killing third party apps wasn’t their goal, it was just an incredibly unpopular but necessary side effect because those apps use the same api that ai learning programs do.
