The joke is that the opportunity cost is NOT 20 millions. Asking them to buy the app for 10 millions is supposed to illustrate the point. Imagine we both have a phone an you try to sell me yours for 20 million dollars, I would reply saying well you can buy mine for 10 millions, hopefully that makes it clear that your asking price is ridiculous.
- yanderekko 3y agoThat doesn't make sense. Reddit is (charitably) arguing that Apollo is costing them $20m/year. "Splitting the difference" and just losing $10m on a one-time basis doesn't make sense when Reddit can of course just cut off API access. If Apollo were delivering $20m/year of incremental value to Reddit, then this would've been a sensical bargaining strategy. But the Apollo dev wasn't prepared to make this argument.
