Same -- I changed jobs since lockdown started, I work for a company now that was 100% remote before all this started. I've actually moved halfway across the country and... yeah, other than now I pay state income tax, nothing has changed for me. I have an office, that's technically a change, I guess.

New York has a similar thing about to take effect, as well.

The bulk of heavy users are on third party apps, most likely.
To some extent, Reddit does get a slice - in the form of user engagement. User engagement is how they generate ad impressions, even if it's not from the users on the third party apps.
They COULD have simply put ads into the API, or made it a requirement. They didn't.
Their entire goal is to maximize "value" before their IPO. Control and number inflation. They don't care about the long term. Spez wants to cash out, and he doesn't care what it costs the company.
Even worse, their official app uses the same API -- and, by estimates, the Reddit app uses more calls than Apollo does.
They wanted more per user than they will ever make. A multiple of that, in fact.

Access to education has meant that more people are making things, and then the next generations build on top of their work to make even bigger things.
