Curious how big the gap was with the API costs.

    He probably is still rich (hell, he made more money in a year than I probably ever will in my life), but yeah probably not as much as some people may think.

    He did estimate that if everyone asks for a refund, he’ll have to pay out $250k, ouch.

      Yeah, that’s a lot of money as well. His business might have paid quite well. Buuuut it comes with a risk, which he took, knowing his whole business relies on those APIs. Well shit, it turns out the deciders at Reddit are assholes. I don’t blame Reddit for charging for the service, I blame them for how they announce it. It’s just inhumane.

      Sorry for the babbling. I’m just so angry 😅
