I don't think it's for revenue. If you look at the Apollo analytics post, the revenue they generate per user is orders of magnitude lower than what they are prepared to charge. It would make more sense to lower the price to the level where 3rd party apps can live because it will still be higher than what they can get from the official app.
Yeah that would be a good way to recreate the echo chamber we love in reddit
Much easier to clean your data with them coming from API compared to scraping. And I don't think they'll be able to negotiate a lower fee because what's the point of pricing their API so high then?? It's clearly to protect their data. Third party apps dying out of the high price is just a side effect that they don't care about.
stunning and brave
Reddit is far from dead. Most of the subs I care about are back.

Them wanting to be an echo chamber doesn't mean we should do that too
I wait for the day when there is enough contents here for bookcirclejerk to exist
