One of the remaining 3rd party Reddit apps (Relay) has begun discussing what it would be charging for subscription fees. Imo, they actually seem somewhat reasonable. The weird thing is that every upvote or downvote is an API call so you can rack up a huge number of API calls from voting.
Also, while the costs might be reasonable now, there’s nothing preventing Reddit from jacking up prices again.
Edit: Also, there wouldn’t be any NSFW content with the app.

What is happening with reddit is so sad. The users made that platform what it is and were never compensated by reddit. Meanwhile, reddit is pissed off that tech like chatGPT used it to train models and not compensate reddit. If that ain’t the pot calling the kettle black. The indifference/ignorance is staggering.
There are significantly more people in the comments willing to pay than I thought… But the prices are also lower than expected.
That does seem reasonable.
Makes me curious, did Reddit finally budge on the pricing or did this dev figure out a way to optimize calls? Latter seems unlikely given each vote is a call.
