I haven’t seen a developer of the third party apps complain about there being a price at all, just that the price is too high given how much a user costs reddit itself, and how tight the timeline is given at that price. And yeah he basically just said “well we were gonna do it at some point, so why not now?”

I think the issue is that he’s saying that he is “willing to talk” but Christian said many times that he feels he’s talking to a brick wall. So how can he feel comfortable having discussions when those discussions might not happen until after he starts getting charged prices that he wants to talk about?

For some reason spez doesn’t get that and it’s really annoying to see him talk about how they’re the only company in town offering free lunch, no one is asking for that.
