The main reason for charging for the API all of the sudden is because Reddit is facing profitability pressures ahead of its planned IPO. With all the investment interest in AI, u/spez feels Reddit isn't getting its fair share since many LLMs use Reddit for training data. The problem with charging such a high price for its API is that 3rd party developers get shafted. Honestly, the whole debacle would have been avoided if u/spez communicated the changes better and charged a fair price ($500/50M requests). The developer community is happy to pay for the Reddit API, but Reddit needs to price the API fairly to ensure 3rd party developers can sustain their businesses.

I've been using Kagi for about a month, and I have to say the searches are excellent! No more wasting time searching through over-SEO'd ad-ridden crap! Just high quality results!
Nice to see Kagi get mentioned!
I've been using Kagi for about a month now, and I love the quality of results you get. I'd say it's still a niche product for people who need to do a lot of searches but can't be bothered to dig through commercialized ad-driven SEO'd crap. I haven't used the personalization features like lenses much, although it's useful for finding PDFs and answers to programming questions.
What do you think about Kagi?
You can use Bitwarden Premium for 2FA keys. It's pretty cheap and well worth it to support development ($10/yr).
If you're on Android and don't want to pay for Bitwarden Premium, I'd use something like Aegis Authenticator.
