    Honestly, the core point made originally, and that he stated again in this article, makes perfect sense to me: it costs money to run Reddit, which they pay for with ads, and the third party apps make the content available without ads or with ads that go to the app developers. It’s completely reasonable that Reddit would want to get paid for people using their content.

    But the way they rolled it out, the slandering of one of the developers, the ridiculously short time for it, the removal of NSFW content, and especially the draconian prices are just unacceptable.
