"Reddit's New Add-Ons: Enhancing the Platform's Experience"
Reddit is testing its own add-ons through its Developer Platform, starting with tools for moderators to monitor and remove comment threads, ban spammers, and create live scoreboards for sports-focused subreddits. The beta test will gather feedback and stress test the platform's stability before expanding to more communities. Reddit is also prototyping other add-ons like polls and countdown timer posts. This comes after a tumultuous year for the company, which faced backlash over its usage-based API pricing and the discontinuation of some third-party apps.
