> I think if it truly costs that much to use Reddit’s API, then maybe it’s on reddit to make their backend more efficient. I am a bit skeptical that efficiency is part of the formula here. Reddit's running an entire company here, and I'm guessing that API call efficiency is only a small part of the cost (considering that they serve things that cost real money, like video).
