Resolved
YES

Today Reddit contacted the owners of Apollo and other third party Reddit apps notifying that API access will cost $12,000 per 50 million requests, which would amount to $20 million per year for Apollo.

This is currently planned to go into effect on July 1st. This market will resolve YES if Reddit charges this rate on July 1st, 2023. If Reddit delays or cancels this plan, this market will resolve NO. If Reddit decides to charge less to Apollo, this market will resolve to 50/50 regardless of how much less they charge.

Currently planning on resolving YES, as it seems like the changes go into effect today. Reddit has given extensions to at least one app but given that Apollo has shut down I donโ€™t think this should resolve 50/50. Let me know if there are any objections.

predicted YES

Reddit admins now forcing blacked out subreddits to re-open, threatening to replace mod teams if they donโ€™t comply.
