YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?
Yeah it’s mostly investment people that have a lot of money and are basically the ones pulling the strings. Because if they don’t like you then the value of your company goes down and poof you were deeply s***
New accounts? Wait…I thought that was only when you scroll without an account. So if I have an account,I can only read 300 tweets/replies? What happens after that? Do I need to buy blue?
Ellen Pao served as the interim CEO of Reddit from 2014 to 2015. During her tenure, Reddit banned several large communities, including r/fatpeoplehate, for violating their terms of service. This subreddit, which was dedicated to disparaging overweight individuals, was one of the most active and popular on the site. Following this action, Pao was widely criticized and compared to a dictator, with many users accusing her of censorship.
In July 2015, Victoria Taylor, who coordinated Reddit’s IAMAS, was dismissed, and Pao was blamed for this as well. Protests and attack campaigns against Pao ensued, eventually leading to her resignation.
However, years later, it was revealed that Pao was not responsible for these actions. She was not the one who fired Taylor - that was Alexis Ohanian, Reddit’s founder and Executive Chairman, who had more authority than Pao. Furthermore, Pao was not in favor of banning subreddits. She had voiced her opposition to this, but was overruled by Ohanian and Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman (aka spezz). Despite this, Pao was unfairly blamed and criticized for these decisions.

Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users?
