Reddit is totally pulling a Twitter.

I'd say a Reddit client is at least technically possible, unlike Twitter, but pricing would have to be around $10/month which really reduces the # of users that would be willing to pay to where it may just not be financially viable.

📣 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...

“The enterprise tier is a privilege that we will extend to select partners based on a number of factors, including value added to redditors and communities, and it will go into effect on July 1.”
Thank you sir, may I have another.

The thing that bothers me most about this Reddit stuff is the Gaslighting. If you are going to kill off all clients, just own it. Don't lie and say you value 3rd party clients and then act like they should be thankful for your over priced, unsustainable access plans.

More Reddit gaslighting. You can't really compare two different apps that may have widely different user bases. If anything they should compare the Reddit app vs Apollo, but even that isn't a fair comparison.

If Reddit honestly wants to support 3rd party apps, change the pricing model completely.
Free Advice:
Charge per active user per day, not API calls.
Add fair per user rate limits.
Promise API parity.
Give devs 2-3 months to implement these changes.

@becomingwisest basically. Like I would have paid Twitter to be able to continue to use Tweetbot.

Instead, now I'm using Adblock and web Twitter rather than the app.

For Reddit, I'll probably just stop if I can't use Apollo as Reddit just doesn't have a usable mobile browser interface.
