What’s funny about the LLM stuff is Reddit must know where those API calls are coming from. This is RiF’s calls. This is Apollo’s. They could have ring fenced every app easily. They could have then introduced a ‘If you’re not in the Genuine API list, you have to resubmit your application or you pay at this higher tier’.
I think most would not have cared if OpenAPI would have faced these costs. They’d likely have cheered Reddit on for taking a chunk back from Microsoft.
Accessibility apps could have been pre-approved too. Instead, they tried to have their cake and eat it and have all the ingredients left over at the end. They could be sitting high with a new revenue stream for high-call low-community impact API calls. But, tried to eat all of that cake at the same time.
