I don't understand the outrage at all. So he is saying that the average user will cost him $2.50 in API fees/month. Since Apollo users are probably significantly more active than the average reddit user I can only assume that the same user is worth significantly in add revenue per month to Reddit. Apollo could easily be a $5/month app as a premium experience and make money.

You have assume both that leap, and also that killing off the free version doesn't stagnate and eventually kill the paid one. Those existing paid users probably started as free users. The API is also not his only cost. For example, he doesn't actually get $5/month, but something like 70% of it...$3.50.
