> Note that he never mentioned any expectation of "free", just that it was about 100x more expensive Again, my point is that I believe this is absolutely intentional. If in these emotional pleas to the community somebody comes out and says, “$1 per user per month is what we’re willing to accept”, you’re going to see the people that were on the app developers side flip out and say $1 a month is too high. My evidence for this is that there’s a reason nobody has put a price they’re willing to pay out. I guess we just see the situation differently. You see it as one where Reddit has killed 3rd party apps. I see it as one where Reddit’s made a choice that will affect 3rd party apps and 3rd party apps are making it look like they have no options.
