Reddit's API is no longer free -- it is now charging for use!
I know how this goes.
First they talk about companies that "don’t return any value" to users.
A year later, they start charging everyone $42,000 for access to the lowest API tier.
What this is telling me, though, is that it's time for me to start investing in Fediverse groups that offer free API access.
I already have one group (@fediversenews) that's proven to be a success -- time to create more.
