View submission: Lets talk about those API calls
Plus, and u/Meepster23 could mention this, Reddit has the advantage as the first party as they can push notifications directly and not need to poll an API. Same with Apollo's comment live activities feature if that doesn't use the websocket.

Yup they have a huge advantage there. But Reddit claiming that is taxing their servers is a complete load of shit... Those requests are tiny and should be optimized already by Reddit
