Value is relative, but even before this drama I've simply started valuing reddit less and less. Not quite, the downsides simply have to outweight the benefits. >To see Reddit as having no value, a person's ideology would have to outweigh all those benefits. You can get a free copy of your Reddit data, too, at the link below: For avoiding harmful lock-in, people can (a) avoiding putting critical data in for-profit services or (b) keep backups of their data off-site in form OSS software can easily host. For such companies, you can try to propose to decision-makers suggestions like above that increase value to everyone (including them!) with low or no extra cost. Let's say you want the situation to improve.

As an I.P.O.-focused startup, I accept that they're going to do what's good for their bottom line.

That might include free blocks of or discounted calls to the API for OSS developers, academics, and Reddit Gold members (even if only 100-1000 for personal use). I can definitely imagine better ways to do it for sure. It might not have acceptable cost-benefit for everyone's use, though. I'm happy to pay their fee to do more good for people. Most still accept Reddit's terms for what the site offers them in return. If it's a bad business, then all of that value it provides for all of those people wouldn't be worth whatever Reddit asked in return. To see Reddit as having no value, a person's ideology would have to outweigh all those benefits. There's so much good happening over there! That's millions of people you can share Jesus Christ with, show love to (esp encouragement / counseling), learn from, collaborate with, and market to. Reddit still has millions of people (tens? 100+?) who choose to use and submit content to the site.
