Paying for API access is… Understandable. Limiting the API calls is ridiculous. I will happily pay for a premium version of my 3rd party reddit app. But, if what it can pull is limited vs the official app, then reddit is something I’ll begin to step away from. Gonna Digg/Tumblr themselves if they’re not careful.

Does reddit even hear themselves? Making us pay for a subscription to use our favorite third party apps is one thing but making us pay for it with limitations like no access to nsfw content is pure insanity.
