Not quite correct. They didn't start charging for API usage. They banned it and pretended it could be paid for with completely absurd prices nobody could reasonably afford.

Ah I was just commenting back on how the relay for reddit deal went.. that's even shittier of them.

I'm not surprised at all.

Yeah, the prices were around +20€ for normal usage, for each user a month. It was a per call cost and the devs would have to eat it if they didn't charge the users, so many rightfully jumped ship. Who in their right minds would pay more than 20 euros to fucking access reddit on their phone, per month? Yeah right, fk you too.

They also didn't allow the api to access all content, plus other limits so apps would have a neutered experience
