The ads in 3rd party apps weren't Reddit's ads, they were LDawson's ad network/services. Reddit didn't get money from that.

The premium cost was drastically lower than what Reddit ended up demanding too, so it's not really equivalent.

Right that was my point though, that he was already set up to support a (modest) api charge because he was already doing ads, exactly what Reddit wanted the app devs to do, but they asked for so much that it just was unusable. People will pay 20/year to use an app, they aren't going to pay 20/month to use an app.

No, reddit wanted the app devs to fuck off entirely.
