I don't see a problem with charging for a product (I feel like this sentiment isn't exactly unique here on HN). Just like I don't see a problem in Reddit charging these 3rd party apps to play ball. But the pricing was not grounded in reality, certainly not with but a 30-day notice. All of the developers whose apps will be shutdown at the end of the month are on record saying they were more than willing to pay a fee to access the API, but that the cost and timeline is absolutely impossible. Particularly, with Apollo, many of his customers were on annual subs, and even if he started charging more to pay API price increase, if his customers would even bear it, it will still take much longer than a month to make that transition. There really is no defense for the timeline Reddit put forward for this sweeping change.
