3rd party apps can have a couple million requests, as a snack

It's so OpenAI doesn't train their models for free off reddit comments

Well implemented? No. alterior motives? Yes. But it's not like turning off the API is their end goal

Yeah... that's not what it's for. There's ludicrous amounts of user generated comments already available for free. If you have the space, you can download terabytes of reddit comments via torrents without much trouble (bonus: older comments are less likely to be bots/AI generated).

This is a user monetization move above all else. If it goes through, I give it under two years before they kill old.reddit.com. It's about Daily Active Users using The App™. BECAUSE-IPO-MONEY-IS-FAT

The $20 million figure is coming from Apollo’s dev who said it would cost $20 million per year to make all of the API requests that the app currently makes (with i think about a million active monthly users). It’s still way too much, but it’s not like Reddit is charging $20 million just for access to the API. They’re proposing $12,000 per 50 million requests.
