Probably

In the higher education system of the United States, minority-serving institution (MSI) is a descriptive term for universities and colleges that enroll a significant percentage of students from minority groups.

That’s absolutely right, but ignores context. People often use months even when the exact age isn’t relevant to the other person.
If I (as someone who doesn’t have kids and don’t know anything about e.g. what behavior is appropriate at what month at all) ask a friend “how old is she now?”, I’d be fine with a “about a year and a half” or “she’s getting 1 year old next month” or whatever. I don’t need an exact month cause 1 month difference doesn’t matter to me in a casual smalltalk/conversation setting. I wouldn’t know “oh, that’s the month she might start pointing at things” anyways.

Of course I’m aware that parents are probably just used to it, so I’m not mad when someone says it in months. But I’d prefer it in years if I had the choice.

To reuse your analogy, I would say 226/40R19 to my mechanic, but to my mother I’d say I’m buying “big wheels”. Cause she doesn’t know what exactly 226/40R19 is/means, so “big wheels” conveys the information better to her.

Hmm, it’s truly not ideal, but while I certainly don’t want to defend them (just playing devil’s advocate a bit here lol), IMO application-based payments do make more sense than user-based. I assume way more people use more than 1 account than there are people who use more than 1 client. If that assumption is correct, the current system is very much in favor of the majority of users.
But it’s indeed a bad solution for the 3rd party app devs to act as some kind of middleman for the payments. The only better alternative I can think of would’ve been to let users add their alts to their subscription, but that would need a system to detect and punish shared subscriptions.

That the fees are too high might be true, I don’t have any insight on that - but Relay Pro has tiers from (in Germany) €1.09 to €5.49 (+ optional higher tiers for application support), the 5.49 tier being with unlimited API calls.
This surely isn’t cheap, at least in the category of social media apps, which is 99% free (but usually ad-supported, which Relay isn’t), but not unfeasible. Generally speaking, i.e. regardless of category, ad-free usage (which is what API access is from reddits perspective) for €5.50 is actually cheap. Most apps and services charge around the same or more for that.

That being said, I was obviously not in favor of that change either. And Reddit sucks at communicating what specifically they’re gonna do. But I also gotta say, the way it turned out in the end wasn’t too bad/unfair - at least not in my experience as a paying API user. Might be (and probably is) a different story for the developers, as the amount of shut-down 3rd party apps indicates. Reddit should’ve just worked out something together with these devs, then I’m sure the backlash and outrage wouldn’t have been half as large.

Either way, I’m happy to be here now.

or making it so you have to be a paid Reddit subscriber to have expanded API access.

Isn’t that what they’re doing? I’ve used Relay Pro via API until recently by paying for it.

The only reason I don’t use that anymore is cause I went de-googled, so no play store subscription and thus no API access anymore, and since I can’t stand the original app I came here.

That sounds tempting, but still won’t make me rejoin reddit.

This is especially noticeable in locations with lots of tourism. People tend to give higher ratings when they’re on vacation, as opposed to locals who are more critical.
That has always been my feeling and has recently been confirmed by a study.

Yea exactly. Both variants are funny in their own way. And I don’t think anybody thinks that someone who’s doing a big/small dick joke is seriously referring to their actual size.

And why?
