Paid I can deal with and Reddit are certainly entitled to some rev share for enabling the content - but - if this goes down the old EEE path through to extinguish third party as a way to force their interface and tools or nothing - then nothing is what it will be. Twitter's API history and present is a great example of how bad things could potentially get.
