I still don‘t understand why apps like apollo did not add a balance account used to pay the necessary API requests. Combined with heavy caching this should have been easily possible and financially viable. Someone could have even built a cache gateway backend for multiple 3rd party apps…

How many rug pulls do you think are acceptable before you'd stop wasting your time trying to work with a corporation?

I think one is a perfectly sane and acceptable answer.

Would you pay $15/month for access to reddit on a 3rd party app when you can access it for free on the official app?

I wouldn't, but I left reddit when all of this happened anyway.

The prices asked were way too high. Several people tried to make this work but the cost for the most basic usage would be huge. They basically slammed the door shut.
