I wouldn’t use the term scummy. When 1/8th of your user base isn’t providing any revenue and costing you money you need to do something.
They are doing it in a terrible manner designed to kill third party apps. If you look at that Apollo thread he says something like 1/4 the price and more time and he would have been reasonably happy. That should be in the realm of negotiation but Reddit appears to be fumbling it.
