Yeah, every time I see that number trotted out I’m just like “and the point is…?”

If there’s an issue with the cost to process that many calls I’m much more suspicious of inefficiency on the API side than the client. Those numbers seem very reasonable.

I think the point of inefficiency was that Apollo could say money and make the costs less than they would be by doing less requests. If someone is saying X is too much it's a valid rebuttal it wouldn't be X but Y if you made a few changes.

I don't think Reddit cares about the number of requests. They just want paid. They weren't caring before when it was free.
