Got off my call with Reddit just now about the API. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/
đź“Ł Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.

Hey all, I'll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined. Apollo made 7 billion...

@christianselig We’ll make our own Reddit…?

But yes that is absolutely absurd.

Were they really expecting any of the third party clients to be able to afford this?

Or was this just a convenient backdoor to killing off said apps under the guise of “well we offered them a way forward but for $ome reason they declined”.
