> This is subjective. He's basically saying he's willing to pay an amount that fit into his old, not well thought out business model, and it's up to Reddit to pay for the rest.

That's not what he said. He said that it's not feasible to transfer from the current pricing with 30 days notice.

That choice is entirely on Reddit, the situation did not demand such a short notice period. They could have smoothed it out but chose not to.

I find it strange to push the blame onto someone who was assured by Reddit of their intention to charge a reasonable price, and to work with 3rd parties on a flexible timeline for the introduction of the charges.

The worst I can say about the Apollo developer is that he believed Reddit were acting in good faith. Reddit on the other hand look like incompetent arseholes.
