I’ve seen many comments and posts regarding the API fiasco on Reddit, with the claim that there will be a huge influx of users when that happens. I’m all for it, but I find it hard to believe that the average or even above average user will make the effort to switch.
Maybe they mean specific to Kbin where currently only boosts raise your score (and most people will boost rarely) so it’s a lot easier to lose score (even from 1 reduce on a favored comment, 1000 papercuts).
