I asked him if he felt that Apollo, rif for Reddit, and Sync, which all plan to shut down as a result of the pricing changes, don’t add value to Reddit. “Not as much as they take,” he says. “No way. They need to pay for this."

I don't think anyone has ever said they want the API to remain free, they just want a fairer price model and/or more time to allow existing year-long contracts to be valid. Why the sudden urgency to push out this stupidly high pricing model? The only time-critical event I can think of is Spez's precious IPO, and he's doing a great job at showing potential investors that everything's under control

/s ( <-- are we allowed to use that here?)

The sarcasm tag has been a thing for a long time, used in various forums before reddit was a thing.
