View submission: Lets talk about those API calls
charge based on where you’d actually be losing revenue
So charge for all third-party apps then. These serve their own ads instead of Reddit’s while still using Reddit’s resources, making themselves money at Reddit’s expense. Further, they don’t allow for anonymized data harvesting like using the site or official app which Reddit then sells, thereby depriving Reddit of two revenue streams while actively costing them money.

These serve their own ads
iirc reddit is fun in particular had a special deal with reddit at one point where they'd serve ads and reddit would get a cut of it. i don't know if that fell through or what is going on with that at the moment (/u/talklittle I'm guessing not?) but yeah.
from the back of the napkin math i've done, reddit can make more money by actually letting this so-called "revenue streams" go away which is amusing and ironic in its own sense
