It's not about price. It's about implementation and lies. 30 days is not enough time for Christian (or any third party app fev) to build, test, and release a solution to collect payments on behalf of all his app's users for API access. Not to mention making things right with users who already payed for an extendes subscription for his app. There are a few things Reddit could have done here. 1. Let third party app devs know about the upcoming change much earlier so they could prepare. 2. Extend the deadline. 3. Implement a BYOK system where users buy individual API keys directly from Reddit, then provide the keys to the third party apps for API access. Instead Reddit lied to the devs about their API plans up until almost the last minute. Then they rolled out a plan they knew no major third party app could comply with in time. Then u/spez lied about Christian in a poor attempt to discredit him. Reddit could have made their API work even at that huge price tag. But they didn't want to. They just wanted to drag everyone kicking and screaming to the official app.
