The "obvious" solve was never discussed because: - there's a vanishingly small minority who pay for apps - Apollo volunteered to be the asserter of what 3Ps thought and they were extremely aggro - It's a Solomon's baby situation, it's a worse outcome from all sides: 3P would be _more_ irate, their customer base gets slashed to nothing. Reddit needs to be able to charge for the API without having elaborate carve-outs for monetization schemes from years ago that didn't work - People aren't thinking straight and are extremely aggressive in discounting others. Sure, the user generates API calls. That doesn't mean the app doesn't make API calls |
