Title says it all. If you think Reddit’s been trending down lately, just wait.

    If I recall correctly, that 30 day notice was basically cut in half anyway because communication from Reddit’s side was so wishy-washy and opaque.

      Yep, notwithstanding the poor tooling on Reddit’s end. I don’t even think the developer portal was fully functional and ready for production use when the pricing was announced. In fact, Christian had to implement his own API tracking back-end to get a good picture of how many API calls Apollo was making because this information wasn’t readily and transparently available from Reddit’s developer tools.

      Imagine charging for an API but not making it easy for your collaborating developers to know how much of the API they are using and will therefore be billed for.
