Yeah, I definitely saw that. The only thing that makes sense to me is that they're expecting third party app devs to basically be charging what they do for Reddit premium, which is honestly pretty ridiculous. Most people aren't going to want to suddenly have to pay anywhere near $6/month for what they had been getting for free. Reddit also screwed up by not having a way that their existing Reddit Premium users might continue having API access in third party apps with a personal token instead of making all third party app devs be brokers in the exchange. They're making the system needlessly complicated IMHO.
