A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah the calculation made by users, based on Reddit's general estimates, was around $7.50 per user per month. In this case, a $10 per month subscription for every user would likely fully cover the API costs.
Judging by the "$20 million a year" calculation the Apollo dev made, Reddit's charging around $1,666,666.66 per month.
Any 3PA would need over 222k users a month (with average-to-heavy usage) to justify that price. Ain't no way any single 3PA has that many users.
