The developer of Apollo claims the changes would cost him $20 million annually to maintain his app.

Reddit implemented API pricing changes to prevent large companies from accessing valuable data for free.

Independent app developers, including Apollo's sole developer, will be affected by the new pricing plans.

Apollo made 7 billion requests last month, which would result in a cost of $20 million per year under the new policies.

Apollo's current revenue from subscriptions is insufficient to cover the high API costs.

Increasing subscription prices to offset API costs would still leave the developer in a significant deficit.

Reddit spokesperson stated that pricing is based on usage levels and aims to be equitable.

The similarities between Reddit's API changes and Twitter's drastic API policy changes under Elon Musk are noted.
