I would have been ok if Reddit charged a reasonable rate for its API, even if it was based on having a form of Reddit premium. But the point wasn't that Reddit was charging, it was that Reddit made the price so high that it was wasn't worth it.

Yeah, I would not have minded tying using 3PAs to having Reddit Premium. I already pay for Discord Nitro entirely because I spend so much time on that app, and like to support the shit I rely on. I would have easily done it for Reddit to keep my preferred experience. 🤷‍♂️

And reddit premium is $6/mo. while their API pricing ended up being like $2.50/user/mo? They would have made way more money... And I'm sure some people cancelled their reddit premium over this mess.
