• It cuts out some older Macs than macOS Ventura did

I thought Apple was waiting till the M3 chip was ready to release an updated Mac Pro?

Once again, people want to use a thing they didn't build, and don't maintain, and they want to use it for free.  And when they cannot use it for free, they complain.

Good luck with that.

Did you not read the story either?

The issue isn't with Reddit charging for access, it's to do with the pricing being set so high as to make third party applications untenable, despite assuring those developers for months that everything would be reasonable.  And then cutting off communication and slandering those third party developers (of Apollo) in interviews, and doubling down when the recording proved that you lied.

Reddit's management have behaved atrociously here, and the protests are being held by Reddit's users, not the developer of Apollo, who was not complaining publicly at all until he was slandered.

But sure, support the big corporation shitting on one of the developers who helped enrich their platform, raising its popularity.  They're the real victims, right?

I read the article.  Your argument boils down to the same "30% is too much and isn't fair" that Apple gets for the App Store.

I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t ship with an M3 processor at launch. I wouldn’t buy one until it does.

And there is nothing cheap anywhere in the Apple product line. Different prices, different capabilities...none of it "cheap."

I wouldn’t go as far as saying that. 

Apple has gone cheap(er):

iPhone SE 
Non Pro iPhones 
iPad
Entry level MacBooks 
Entry level iMacs 

I would go as far to guess that Apple does have a cheaper version that will ship mid year 2024.

I think this was a giant consumer feedback session from developers and the public. 

I doubt Apple has even started manufacturing them. I would hope that we start to see pics of parts of the cheaper model now that we know what it is and what it will look like. 

The difference is that none of the items you mention compromise the experience of using an iPhone, iPad, Mac, ... in fundamental ways, while this cheaper VP that Gurman has pulled out of thin air would absolutely do so.
