Do you think it's fair for big tech companies like Reddit and Twitter to shut off their API access? 1. Definitely fair 2. Somewhat fair 3. It's circumstantial 4. Somewhat unfair 5. Not fair at all https://i.imgur.com/8jLYEDO.png

4 By operating as they did for so long, Reddit created an implicit agreement w/ the community. The API changes and getting rid of Apollo violated this agreement. Legal but not very fair.

Reasonable to separate legal and fair in this instance, one of the unwritten rules for social apps in particular
