    It’s more the amount rather than that they are charging at all. The timeframe is preditory, and the cost is about 100x similar api cost, and at least 20x what they’d be losing by not having those users on the app.

    High volume API tools are also helpful for auto mods and community bots which is especially annoying for mods. Also, modding on mobile is only really possible though third party apps.
