      Indeed. If you read the actual statement they got, you’ll find that The Verge has been very irresponsible in how they reported it.

      We’ve connected with select developers of non-commercial apps that address accessibility needs and offered them exemptions from our large-scale pricing terms,” Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt says in a statement to The Verge.
