View submission: Lets talk about those API calls

Who in their right mind would pay for an API that has *zero* reporting features? We're supposed to just trust them on what they report and *charge* us for? No way to verify?

Why do we *all* have to build into our applications/scripts some method of tracking API call volume? That's Reddit's job if they want us to pay for it.

I mean - they claim to know how many API requests we're all making... so... provide some basic reporting? Or is it the reason they apparently weren't actually rate limiting *anyone* was because they *didn't* have any idea what was going on with their API?

Oof. This whole thing is really eye opening.

See Comcast's ludicrous data caps for more information. You just have to take their word for it, lol.
