Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to directly contradict another admin from r/redditdev who refused to provide support to a developer and likened their refusal to how "Google & Amazon don’t tell us how to be more efficient. It’s up to us as users of these services to optimize our usage to meet our budget."

In this post they promised to help non-commercial devs. In that post they told the dev who they expect to pay 20 million dollars a year that they're not going to help him. So he would be paying for something, but it wouldn't be for support, that's for sure.

That reply was so callous and just drove home that they are trying to kill third-party apps (as if there was doubt), versus trying to build a workable business relationship. Essentially telling a potential $20 million contract partner to sod off when they asked for support - oof.

Apollo is a commercial project though, doesn't excuse the abusive pricing.
