I agree that reddit has every right to charge for access to its api but I don’t agree with it’s handling of this. If reddit was charging a reasonable rate, I wouldn’t leave. But charging exorbitant prices, refusing to communicate w/ users and 3p developers, and lying about Christian’s (Apollo’s) communications with reddit shows that reddit has no respect for its users or developers. Why should we stick around when reddit only seems to be saying that it doesn’t care about us?
