This is a quantitative disagreement. Not emacs vs vim. Straight numbers.

Reddit says the API will cost less than a $1/month per user. [1]

Apollo says the API will cost $2.50/month per user. [2]

Moreover, Apollo claims that Reddit itself makes only $0.12/month per user, therefore the API charges are absurd. [2]

What are the correct numbers? These are numbers, not opinions.

EDIT: One issue...I suspect that Apollo users are significantly more active than the average Reddit MAU. Say, 4x more active. So the $0.12/month revenue estimate is like (for example) $0.50 per Apollo user.
