I don't really understand reddit's angle here... Why would they provide zero cost API access to an app, as long as the developer of the app isn't making a profit? Are they trying to act like that was the issue they had with these third party apps? That they e profitable?
How does it make sense for them to allow an app for that reason?
Sounds like breaking a lot of laws by limiting api access to specific companies
It is not a public service. Deals are made between companies all the time, so I don't see how this would break the law.
