Do you really think reddit spends 2.50 monthly per user on their 430 million MAU? That would mean 13 billion dollars in expenses yearly.

- tornato7 3y agoReddit should realistically charge for lost revenue rather than lost expenses. Instagram makes $50B annual revenue on 2 billion users, or around $25/user/year. I'm certain that Reddit is making nowhere near that per user, but they're probably pricing their API along their most optimistic projections.
- shbooms 3y agoI can't find the source but in some of the communication Selig released between him and Reddit a few days ago, Reddit themselves confirmed that their pricing is based on lost oppurtunity cost per user, not just expenses
- raydev 3y agoI don’t really think of any number, because that would be silly. None of us know the answer nor can we confidently estimate what it is. Therefore any attempt to justify or argue costs by us is useless.
- deaddodo 3y agoWe can confidently assume it's not 26x their annual revenue. That would be silly.
