minus-squareArtistan@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2 years agoMost of the 3PA devs has already said, they are not against paying for API usage, as long as it’s a reasonable price. The pricing Reddit wants is definitely to kill 3PA.
minus-squareTrizza Tethis@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoYeah the calculation was around $7.50 per user per month. 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.
