    This is embarrassing.

    What a weak revenue stream. Imagine being a business, investing in a subreddit, only for the subreddit to be inundated by bots.

    Reddit is going the way of Twitter and it’s astounding to watch.

        When the surviving 3rd party app users hit their limit for API calls you will absolutely get this message and probably an option to upgrade for $$$ too.

          The Narhwal dev said this is how he’s approaching it. You get so many calls with a subscription and then have to top off with more if you hit it. So Prepaid mobile plans are coming to your favorite 3rd party apps for a website that’s free! People are desperate to give Reddit money even after all this.
