Eh, so although, according to him, the third party apps cost Reddit 10 million per year, he still decided that 20 million a year from a single third party app developer is reasonable? I think he needs to learn some basic math...
Well there is also human cost for development, PR etc, which also probably costs a lot
I'll admit I'm not entirely well versed in this, but what development? Is the API being continually worked on? I'd imagined it was relatively stable, especially given how awful Reddit has traditionally been with any kind of feature development.
Hell, they couldn't even make their own app, they had to buy Alien Blue and then drive it into the ground for $$$
