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.

Apollo is not a competitor to reddit, it's a consumer of reddit. Those are very distinct things. It literally doesn't even exist without reddit.

If I have a backyard and let you host a couple concerts in it free of charge and then next year I decide "hmm, I think I should be paid for those concerts you're hosting in my backyard" is that anti-competitive?

Absolutely not.

Apollo is also a producer to Reddit, as a large portion of its users use the app and contribute data via it

Some of which are used to generate content, which other people consume. That's how web 2.0 works.
