npub1utv8fr27ca4hvjes9y9wt9uev2u6hnwsdjf7wf6dlwpycknjajtq7287lr (npub1utv…87lr) yeah, it just doesn't make sense to make client app developers pay for their users' usage of your API. It's like expecting my car company to pay for the fuel I use to drive places.
Charging users for extra API usage (or requiring Reddit Premium for it) would certainly have cut down on the number of third party app users, but plenty would have stuck around and it would have been a logically sound way to monetize.
I ended up canceling my Reddit Premium membership over it.
