Now, a similar revolt against Reddit may be gaining steam after a popular app developer said Wednesday the social media company wants to charge him $20 million a year to continue offering software that lets Reddit users view and interact with the platform. Reddit’s API is what allows Reddit content to be displayed to the Apollo app’s 900,000 daily active users. Reddit’s initial announcement had been light on pricing details, leaving many to speculate about the future of third-party access to Reddit. According to Selig’s post Wednesday, Reddit intends to charge $12,000 for every 50 million attempts to access the company’s data. Selig isn’t the only app developer crying foul.
