    I don’t get your argument. A service that uses the api once or twice a year, and uses much less of the offered features, and generally stresses the website much less… Is to pay more, simply because the application is worth more?

      I think he’s calling out the fact that the justification for the API pricing changes was partially “we’ve got to stop AI training bots from scraping Reddit.” However, the pricing changes were actually made to hit third party developers hard and not hit the AI modelers that hard.
