You are right, and we know this factually from YouTube premium providing more revenue than free users. I, the end user of Reddit, should be able to pay for the api access directly to Reddit the company without having to impose risk on Apollo to front massive api bill. There’s no need to funnel anywhere since there’s no ads to be sold.

Am I missing something here? It seems like a blatantly obvious compromise.

reddit's ceo does not behave like a logical actor but instead is driven by emotions, mostly negative ones towards 3rd party apps.
