I am interested even though I only use the official web interface to read occasional results of a specific web search or targeted research on Reddit.

I do appreciate the fact, however, that I can connect to Fastmail and read my mail using my client of choice and not Fastmail’s web interface or iOS client. Fastmail does not care because they get my money anyway. I like that model.

So I am siding with Reddit on this one. I’d prefer Reddit to be self-sustainable at least. If there are clients that deliver the value to the users bypassing their ad revenue stream, it is reasonable to ask users to pay for it. Now, whether API pricing is reasonable or not - it is hard for me to say, but I will let market forces figure out this one.
