It shows reddit in a bad light, not apollo. If reddit thinks they can make > $20 million in profit on Apollo users $10 million is a bargain.
If they think they can't actually make $20 million in profit, why would they charge Apollo that much?

Why would they not? Apollo doesnβt benefit Reddit in any way. Itβs just a massive drain on their resources. It doesnβt serve their ads and it hammers them with requests.

While apollo is almost certainly a big net drain having your website be browseable on a neat modern looking functional app is worth something. Shit, the official reddit app being complete shit is a bigger meme than old search used to be. Reddit is absolutely on the market to absorb a 3rd party app into the official one, this guy just asked for waaay too much.

Itβs an opening offer. I bet he would accept 10-30% of that. It has to be worth something to Reddit since they totally fail at modern ui design. Reddit also sucks at business. I canβt wait to own Reddit shares and reportmaxx them to the SEC for not addressing my concerns. Iβm going to bring up the past of mods and admins and why that is a a concern to shareholders on earnings calls. I can not wait to be the most annoying Reddit owner
Read what I wrote above. Now picture in your head that I put a /s at the end. Good job sweaty!

Yes, but then you own reddit.

the trick is to short them for the same amount to have 0 risk but still gain voting power. You might even get a huge loan for this since it is basically guaranteed to be +/-0%

Itβs worth nothing. People can use the official app just fine and they probably will once Apollo shuts down.

Right, exactly.
They were dishonest in wanting to work with Apollo. They wanted to give the impression of being supportive instead of just saying outright they wanted to shut it down.

Even when you frame it like that, it still doesn't make sense, because reddit obviously knows that Apollo users will just switch to the official reddit app.
It's just stupid reasoning all around. I can only assume he's being purposefully ignorant towards them to try and get them to admit that their end goal is to just shut down all third party apps, but the way he's going about doing it is stupid. He should be more direct, asking specifically if they view his app as an asset that brings people to reddit, or if they view his app as a threat that needs to be shut down. Because if they lie to him and say they view it as an asset, he can directly attack them for acting against (what they claim to be) their own self interests by shutting the app down and not offering an affordable price.

Remember API cost is also there to reduce maintenance cost by devs making more efficient apps

Server cost by API usage, by reddit's own admission, is negligible.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Well no. It is still a cost and there is no reason to drive that cost either by making API usage free.

sure, pennies is a cost

Isn't that why Reddit charges API in pennies?

They're going to charge two orders of magnitude more than it costs them.

But they don't even say that. They say the damage Apollo inflicts on them is worth $20m.
And they have the option to bring those damages to 0 by either demanding $20m or paying him $10m.
