I could almost stomach paying for reddit premium IF they allowed unfettered API access (within reason I guess) AND if they actually supported their API for all new features. As it stands the API is woefully behind what their site/apps allows and I trust them about as much as I trust Twitter's whole "now that you are paying it's going to get better".
The shitty thing here is iOS/Android devs that do find a way to pass through to cost might price themselves out of the 15% tier even when 90%+ of the money they collect (after the Apple/Google tax) is going to just be handed to Reddit. That might screw up the economics of any other IAP they have (to unlock features or what not).
They can raise prices to account for the extra 15% loss but still sucks. Apollo alone would hit Apple/Google's 15% rate limit in less than a month and even if it lost 19/20th of it's users it'd still hit it for the year given his estimates.
