Wow, that price is insane. To me, that's pretty clearly a shot at any competitor apps for Reddit. Purely anti-competitive behavior here, which to me is silly. Let other apps pop up to better serve your users. At the end of the day, they are still your users and you might learn things from the other apps.

Who ever came up with that price is looking for short-term profits over user happiness and long-term growth.

The idea that it's anti-competitive to do with your platform what you want is in my mind silly. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from building a reddit clone to compete against reddit besides your ability to attract their users.

It comes off as extremely entitled to think that reddit should supply you with the data created by their platform to do what you want with it.

Um, the users create the data, and consume it. Reddit provides a "marketplace" for that, and sells your data in exchange. Now, they want to rent-seek from the very people making it possible to create and consume that content easily.

And it IMO, is anti-competitive - they are intentionally killing all existing competitors, vs. improving their own offering.
