Will they go the way of MySpace or will this truly blow over in a few week?

    Reddit is dead, long live reddit? /s

    People are right, Reddit will live on as a shell of its former self. In time, people will forget that this happened and the API change and loss of third party apps that didn’t want to pay those high fees will also be forgotten by those on Reddit.

      I enjoyed reading that song, but I can’t help but be bothered that the author kept adding an extra line.

      The verses are sets of three lines, eventually followed by"The day the music died." All of the verses have four lines, and it’s freakin me out, man.

        “The day the music died” line comes right before the chorus, not after it. These parody lyrics look alright to me.

          API calls would be worth a fortune
          And Only Fan girls would come out to play
          Replacing users with monkeys
          And the users wept and cried

          These lines all don’t fit into the song.

          Each verse goes 3 lines, 3 lines, 4 lines, 3 lines, The Day the Music Died. For example:

          "Did you write the book of love
          And do you have faith in God above
          If the Bible tells you so

          Now do you believe in Rock and Roll
          Can music save your mortal soul
          Can you teach me how to dance real slow

          Well, I know that you’re in love with him
          'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
          You both kicked off your shoes
          Then I dig those rhythm and blues

          I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
          With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
          But I knew I was out of luck

          The day the music died
