      When the surviving 3rd party app users hit their limit for API calls you will absolutely get this message and probably an option to upgrade for $$$ too.

        The Narhwal dev said this is how he’s approaching it. You get so many calls with a subscription and then have to top off with more if you hit it. So Prepaid mobile plans are coming to your favorite 3rd party apps for a website that’s free! People are desperate to give Reddit money even after all this.

          Holy ducking shit! So you’re not just paying a sub to use Reddit, you’re paying rate limit charges as well?

          Lol so spez found a (short term) way to get mods to not just work for free, but to pay him for the privilege of becoming his slaves! Truly genius.
