My bet is that they’ll announce that they’re still charging for the API, but at a “drastically” reduced price. As you say, I think it was their plan all along. That way they can still milk third party apps, all the while still being able to say “we listened to the community” by not destroying them outright
I just don’t get why they were doing per api call to the app at all, instead of a subscription to reddit for the users. I might have paid a bit to keep using redreader and avoid ads.
