I wanted to address Reddit's continued, provably false statements, as well as answer some questions from the community, and also just say thanks.

(Before beginning, to the uninitiated, "the Reddit API" is just how apps and tools talk with Reddit to get posts in a subreddit, comments on a post, upvote, reply, etc.)

Reddit: "Developers don't want to pay"

Steve Huffman on June 15th: "These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free. And that free comes at the expense of our other users and our business. That’s what this is about. It can’t be free."

This is the false argument Steve Huffman keeps repeating the most. Developers are very happy to pay. Why? Reddit has many APIs (like voting in polls, Reddit Chat, view counts, etc.) that they haven't made available to developers, and a more formal relationship with Reddit has the opportunity to create a better API experience with more features available. I expressed this willingness to pay m
