    It’s possible that this is not about collecting money for third party app use, but instead about forcing people to use Reddit’s apps (both mobile and web), which are designed for data extraction and tracking.

      Absolutely, if they wanted money from 3rd party apps, they’d have sane prices. The ridiculous API cost was done to effectively kill all other apps without saying they are killing all other apps.
