Wait you can even view reddit on a 3rd party app at all? Which app playoffs the $10m to still work with reddit?
It is still based on usage so you don't need to cough up 10 mil for starters. You ONLY need something like 10$ a month per user. Can't recall the exact numbers anymore but the point remains.
Yeah thanks for the accurate number. It wasn't as ridiculous as I recalled. Should've checked it first.
Still unreasonably high (checked the Apollo post, he calculated it would be multiple times more than what average reddit user currently brings to table).
The purpose of my comment was to point out that the mentioned 10 million dollars would mean 4 million active users if it's monthly fee.
Theoretically anyone could make their own app with the api and pay the api cost directly.
