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/
📣 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 This isn’t even greedy—it’s just asinine. I’m sorry dude, let me know if there’s anything we can do to raise awareness.

@snazzyq @christianselig It especially feels like a punch in the face, since it SEEMED like Reddit was doing the right thing here, by communicating beforehand and saying why, etc. (And API payment is totally fine in principle!) Then this pricing...

Hopefully the tech content makers (like yourself) will make fuzz around this! This seems closer to "evil" than "crazy". 😕
