      what cause? even if they (Reddit) would back off now, it would only be to calm tensions so they can implement the same changes over time, boiling frog style, instead. Whatever cause there was is dead and buried, the AMA made that very clear.

      This hacker group isn’t doing this to change Reddits mind, they just found a nice way to gain some publicity and renown.

    I like how they’re demanding they scrap their API changes…oh and $4.5 million. Seems like they’re not as invested as the headline might make it

      It’s less than what just one 3rd party app which doesn’t even have a lot of users to care about earns in 3 months according to reddit admins, not a big deal, those hacker’s servers need money to be running yknow, information isn’t free, unlike some CEOs they are not profitable yada yada.
