20 million a year? That’s wild, shame to see apps start to fall.
Right?! And then when being asked if they could maybe charge $10 million (or give people 6 months to figure things out), they just said no. I can't remember another company that blatantly cut off all partner relationships like that.
I think the reasoning is that Reddit didn't realize these *were *partner relationships. They thought these apps were just taking and not actually helping.
