(Mildly NSFW) Welp, I guess that's it. The single photo that got my ~10-year-old, 60k+ karma Reddit account "permanently suspended." (media.kbin.social)

Also the fact that they were involving the third party app maintainers at all. There's no technical reason that REDDIT couldn't put the payment mechanisms in place to block USERS from making API calls through Oauth Apps. If you pay whatever subscription fee your account can make calls through whatever third party app you like.

But instead they decided that they were going to charge the APPS for some inane reason, and put figuring out a user-facing payment mechanism on those maintainers.

I actually do think charging apps is the right way to go about it, rather than charging users for an API key that will let them use the app - but all of that is to say that they went about it the wrong way entirely.
