    I honestly think the article should have given a little more focus to the fact the API pricing isn’t something disagreed upon, but the main backlash is due to the pricing out of 3rd party apps by making it outrageously expensive. Give at least an extra paragraph describing what happened between Selig and Reddit.

      As well as an unrealistic time table for change (30 days). Selig even offered to discuss giving more time to adapt the apps to what Reddit was wanting, and that’s when the lies from Huffman started.

        … and all of this after saying in January that there would be no API changes for the foreseeable future “except to possibly make it better.”

        The whole timeline of events exposes Reddit as a very poorly run company lacking a planned out roadmap.
