I’m not super technical but can someone please explain why the third party apps can’t just require each user to enter their own oauth token? That way all the API calls get tied to the users instead of the app and there’s no cost. Am I misunderstanding something?
I get the impression that owners of large servers aren’t too interested in the growth from Reddit. I think some post even said that using “Reddit refugee” as a reason for application for an account is gonna get you rejected.
Sustained or not ultimately it’s a big circlejerk of all the rich people trading money amongst each other that they siphon off of us 🤷🏻♂️
I agree with all the responses but based on the Apollo post I think the average user was making something like 300 requests per day? Isn’t the 100 per minute rate limit more than sufficient for the average user or am I missing something? Either way the timeline, NSFW restriction and everything else is just stupid so I fully agree on that. Was just not getting the pricing part. 😁
