In case anyone was wondering, there's a mirror of nearly all the old PoE reddit content, with a link and explanation of how to use it here: https://pathofexile-discuss.com/post/2061

God bless you!

No thanks, I'm allergic.

Can't we get rid off all the reddit mods with their stupid blackout? Problem solved. Let the free market correct itself.

Free markets are not self correcting.

There is nothing corrupt about the mods... you should really go and do some reading if this is what you believe. Reddit asked for an absolutely absurd amount of money in an impossibly short timeframe, and the changes simply do not affect only third party apps.

No they didn't, you should do some research instead of reading some third-party freeloader devs propaganda.

I agree that the timeframe is ridiculously short though, but it really does not seem to me that this Appolo guy asked reddit for more time to adapt, he went all bonkers and now here we are.


The pricing isn't "absolutely absurd" (and comparing it to imgur is silly to put it mildly, those are two very different platforms with very different kinds of traffic)

I hope that some admins (like the poe subreddit ones) will just get stripped of their privileges and more reasonable people will be put in their place, seriously.

That's very nice ! thanks

Subreddit is back, as soon as they saw their position of power is in danger they unlocked the sub lmao. But we did it for you users!

Im not coming back to that toxic hole, this last abuse of power was the final push I needed to leave the subreddit.

You're entitled to your incorrect opinion.

The Apollo dev has literally provided recorded phone conversations as evidence of the specific communications between the two parties, including but not limited to asking for more time and negotiating the price. To have the position you have requires you to be willfully ignorant of the evidence provided. Reddit put him in the position of having to float literally $100,000+ for a period of 6 months or more, until his annual subscribers rolled onto new rates.

If you think that the third party devs are the freeloaders here, or that what they are claiming is propaganda despite recorded evidence substantiating it, it's you that's drinkinng the propaganda coolaid - only it's reddit's.
