I infer it was aggressive, based on the following:
Per Christian (the Apollo app dev): "(...) Twitter's pricing was publicly ridiculed for its obscene price of $42,000 for 50 million tweets. Reddit's is still $12,000. For reference, I pay Imgur (a site similar to Reddit in user base and media) $166 for the same 50 million API calls." [1]
All assuming he is not lying (which I have no reason to believe, contrary to the reddit reps). Two orders of magnitude over Imgur pricing sounds a bit greedy, unless Imgur is also at the verge of collapse, which I'm not aware of.

- shagie 3y ago> I pay Imgur (a site similar to Reddit in user base and media) $166 for the same 50 million API calls. He's got a sweetheart deal. https://api.imgur.com/#commercial https://api.imgur.com/#commercial takes us to https://rapidapi.com/imgur/api/imgur-9/pricing https://rapidapi.com/imgur/api/imgur-9/pricing There is no $166 plan. The least expensive $500/month plan is "only" 7.5M requests per month. 50M requests under the ultra plan (7.5M requests and then $0.001 for each one after) would cost $43k/month - and it would be more sensible to go to the "mega" plan then which is $10k/month for 150M API calls.
