Everyone saying their pricing is absurd had better get ready for the new wave of API pricing.

Like every other industry, there's a growth period where things are new and prices are reasonable, and then there's the "squeeze" where bean counters come in, make charts that are likely bs, and explain how much easier it'd be if we charged 4x as much for half the customer base.

Twitter was one of the first to give access to cheap mass data, and now they're one of the first to charge through the nose for that. The move is going to be that if you're not enterprise level you're not getting this data anymore, and I doubt it stops with reddit.

If you go into that thread there are people begging Selig to charge them 4x what Apollo Ultra costs. And they're begging him to charge it to everyone all the time.

This can't just be laid on the feet of faceless bean counters or old men in the executive suite.

Good point. We must lay this at the feet of people who want the product and are willing to pay for it.
