I'm kinda curious why none of the third party app developers considered selling Reddit requests as in-app purchases – just charge the rate Reddit charges.

If 3rd party apps are so beloved, then $3/month to support a developer doing good work should not be a issue.

    Honestly $3 isn't bad, I'd gladly pay that to continue using my Reddit app.

    It's $3 today. What happens when Reddit triples the price with 30 day notice?

      Don't forget that you alienate all those in poorer parts of the world unless you have regional prices.

    Paying a monthly subscription to only have access to half of Reddit (NSFW will not be available through third-party apps) sounds like a bad deal to me.

Because they were only given 30 days before the API changes kicked in.

  No. For mismanaging their relationships. There's the aphorism that when you're using/buying a thing, it's always a relationship between you and other humans somewhere in the chain. That has to be given hygiene and deference. Hygiene in keeping things healthy and in balance and deference in not trying to calcify some lording hierarchy. If you bust either, your customers/users/whatever will be shopping around. There's other ways to fail but if you look at the most liked companies, you can basically rename that a list of companies that fuck up hygiene and deference the least.
