New Delhi. Elon Musk’s massive layoff has prompted Reddit CEO Steve Huffman to refuse to budge over changes to the application programming interface (API) on his platform despite massive protests. In an interview with NBC News, Huffman said that my findings from Twitter and Alan on Twitter are reaffirming that we can do a really good business in this space at our scale.
That said, you can run a company with so many users in the advertising business and break-even with very few. He had to undergo some violent transformations and violent surgeries to get there.
Thousands of Reddit communities have gone dark on the platform in protest against API changes that are forcing some third-party developers to shut down their apps.
Reddit said it is not closing discussions or reopening communities unilaterally.
A company spokesperson told The Verge, “We haven’t threatened anyone.” It’s not how we operate. It is not our aim to put pressure on people. We’re communicating expectations and how things work. Redditors want Reddit and mods want mods.
According to Huffman, the social discussion platform was never designed to support third-party applications.
According to Huffman, those third-party apps aren’t adding much value to the platform.
