I used to really enjoy Reddit but over the years it has become more and more insufferable.
#Reddit is done. #Nostr fixes this.
“Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to #Twitter's pricing, and #Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.”
“I'll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever could have imagined.”
“Apollo made 7 billion requests last month, which would put it at about 1.7 million dollars per month, or 20 million US dollars per year. Even if I only kept subscription users, the average Apollo user uses 344 requests per day, which would cost $2.50 per month, which is over double what the subscription currently costs, so I'd be in the red every month.”

I don’t visit Reddit much. What happened?
The article is about a Reddit front end that won’t be financially sustainable with new Reddit API rates. (I don’t know how Teddit.net does it but that’s the only way I read it if I have to)
I was just commenting on my personal dissatisfaction with how myself and the general Reddit culture have drifted so far apart over time that I cannot stomach most of the current Reddit culture.
