Ask HN: What happens with social media monitoring apps once Reddit's API is paid

[stanislavb]

For example, a "free" service that I use and is "slightly" monetized by ads in the notification emails. F5Bot https://f5bot.com/.

Would Reddit ask them for $12,000 per month?

Apparently yes, so assuming that Reddit doesn't change its mind, those apps either become much more expensive, stop supporting Reddit (and Twitter) or go away.
