    Honestly, I don’t believe that in order to be profitable, the system needs to suck. What if reddit built a really great app and offered subscription tiers that remove ads and give you some extra gold?

      Yeah they could have just moved the api costs down to the user level, charged like $3 a month, and while I would have bitched a bit, I would have just paid it and carried on. They just really handled this about as poorly as they could have.
