MODERATORS
Interesting side effect is Reddit is basically penalizing voting, since if you vote on most comments you end up doubling or tripling your API usage. The best way to pay less for this app is to stop voting altogether.
Reddit's advertising is based on user engagement, so they're shooting themselves in the foot for a few pennies in comparison.
Its just end-to-end-retardation. All the rage lately
