   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

• Can we please not post Platchat spoilers? Just add the spoiler tag when posting power rankings.

  Image previews by default is a new reddit thing. Most people that have been around since before the redesign use https://old.reddit.com with RES (or use classic-style mobile apps like BaconReader) and think new reddit is worse than pre-nerf Brig. No clue what the percentage of new vs old users is at this point, or if new reddit lets you disable previews by default, which it might. Source: about 2 years ago

• Another change i really dont like (yet). My head crashes as soon i see it. What was wrong with how it was? Cant we just choose the interface.

  I just use BaconReader on my phone. :) Not too fond of Reddit's interface-changes, so I also use the old interface on desktop. Source: over 2 years ago
