Oh no, they made loads of money. I hate to quote spez the fuckwad: https://www.businessinsider.com/reddit-ceo-app-founders-apollo-riff-made-millions-using-api-2023-6?r=US&IR=T
No dev was talking against that, so i guess that point is correct.
Apollo made 500k a year alone from subscriptions, i have no clue what they've paid for the API prior though, but these guys are loaded.
The API for Reddit was free. I think for sites like Imgur, Redgifs, etc they paid some pretty reasonable fees. It's worth noting that many of them had revenue sharing agreements and trademark licenses with Reddit that were terminated after spez became CEO.
