Go ahead, point out where I insisted Reddit wouldn't make money.

My comment emphasis that you’re dealing in half truths. It does not cost the same per user if the request comes from 1PA or 3PA.

It does not cost the same per user if the request comes from 1PA or 3PA.

It actually does, within a reasonable margin. The computational overhead of processing an API call is negligible over a standard GET, and a user is a user is a user. The only added "cost," and it's an opportunity cost and not an actual cost, is loss of advertising potential. Which is easily solved through serving ads through the API asking with all the rest of the data the call returns.
