No one is upset because reddit wants to make the API paid. Several 3rd party apps were looking forward to working with reddit in this regard.
People are upset because:
- Reddit has been terrible and dishonest in their communication
- Reddit is dropping Twitter-like pricing out of the blue
- These prices seem to have the goal of killing 3rd party apps instead of merely being ‘realistic’ or ‘fair’, like Reddit is claiming
- Reddit is dragging well respected devs through the mud and trying to make them look like the bad guys
