publicity is good, but wish they would have taken two exta seconds to explain the nuance of the issue.

It's not just that Reddit will start charging for API calls, but that the price was outrageously high, extortionate even.

Many will read this article, and others like it, and automatically side with Reddit, because "it sounds fair that apps with heavy API usage should contribute to the cost", completely missing the part the Reddit is trying to bankrupt the third part app developers.

I'm annoyed that the imgur pricing didn't make the article, which I thought was the most illuminating comparison. Leading the pricing details with $2.50/person/month sounds very "that's all?" at surface level
