If the primary complaint from Reddit is that they are losing revenue (no ad impressions/lack of user data and metrics gathering) why don't they just keep the API free/affordable but require developers to show ads and send usage metrics back to reddit?

I feel like it's incredibly short sighted for these companies to limit their APIs.

Doesn’t thins kind of do that while putting all the work and risk on to the third parties? Apollo will either find revenue to support the cost, or someone else will, or no one will and then Reddit can maybe lower the price.
