They have around 500 million users among them, however, two of the largest “social networks” corporations appear on the Internet that decided to exasperate their own users.
Reddit faced an amazing action extended the fortnight of the last fortnight, with volunteer moderators and Protestant users who oppose the enormous increases in the corporate API that have forced several popular Reddit applications today.
Twitter, meanwhile, is barring people who aren’t logged into the service from seeing content posted on the social network and is blocking previews of tweets appearing in apps such as Slack or WhatsApp.
Two of social media’s biggest players have turned distinctly anti-social.
Despite Reddit’s moderators, supplicating the company to review its API valuables, Reddit remained firm. Consequently, the popular third -party Reddit programs such as Apollo, Sync and have closed today, the new is worth coming from July 1.
The Apollo application for iPad is now just a Shell that contains an ad for a set of adement paper Apollo.
Apollo developer Christian Selig, who has had an antagonissitc dating the Reddit team in recent weeks, reported that the corporate didn’t even allow the app to die elegantly.
“Well, it looks like Reddit pulled the plug a little early,” Selig wrote in a tweet last night. “Apollo crashed, but I just manually revoked my token and it looks like that fixes the overwrite, but more access to Reddit haha. Other people are a laugh until the end!”
Reddit continues to take an equally hard line with moderators who have taken their personal communities protesting against the tweaks to the API, well, those communities from the public. Reddit reportedly wrote to the moderators of some of the maximum popular communities who remain personal, warns that “this network remains closed to its [millions of] members cannot continue” and threatens to eliminate his prestige as a moderator.
With a giant number of protests that continue to scold on the site, the Reddit challenge can get to locate volunteer moderators in a position to enter the roles of the striking moderators.
Twitter, meanwhile, continues to rail against anyone or anything it perceives to be denying it revenue.
Visitors who try to read a tweet through the Twitter website, who do not register a Twitter account, are now met with an error message.
Attempts to read tweets are found that are being recorded
In addition, it turns out that glimpses are no longer visual when percentage links to programs such as WhatsApp or Slack, which means that all users see the naked URL, which forces them to click Twitter to read the content of El Tweet (Assuming that they have stored users and logging in, of course).
The head of epic games, Tim Sweeney, has criticized the actions of social media companies. “It’s breaking more and more,” he tweeted.
“Information sites are payment walls or account walls, Reddit is closed, Google spam search ads and search engines optimization at the point of uselessness, and now Twitter is walled with an account. Surf Web is terrible now.
This prompted a backlash from Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who tweeted, “Several hundred organizations (maybe more) scrape Twitter knowledge incredibly aggressively, to the point that it affects the true user experience. What do we want to do to prevent this?’ I’m open to ideas.
Sweeney told Musk to restrict scratching and prosecute corporations that the abuse service, to which Musk replied that Twitter “will join legal actions opposite to those that stole our knowledge and wait to see it in court, which is (optimistic) 2 to 3 years from now. “
Social media barons show no signs of softening their competitive attitudes. . .
