This feels like malicious compliance.

Like the photographer was told they must stand in the very corner of the yard even after they pointed out the tree was in the way.

Pretty sure that’s what happens nearly everywhere not specifically the UK.

Also, no more funnel.

But, I think the material for the Aeropress Original series remains the same. They have a new Aeropress Clear variant that is made from a different plastic.

I don’t trust reddit reporting that value accurately. Not saying it is a huge percentage, but they likely doing some things to minimize the numerator and maximize the denominator.

But yeah, definitely about control. They could have monetized users on third party apps with more reasonable API pricing. People would probably have barely noticed and that’d be new revenue for reddit that didn’t exist before.
