Everyone couldn't have. The more users you have using a app the higher the API hits, the higher the number of API hits the more you'd have the charge. So the more popular apps with the most users couldn't survive ~~odd~~ on just $2.99 a month and certainly not while continuing to update and upkeep that app (or those apps) because they wouldn't be making any money let alone enough to justify the work they'd be doing.

Additionally this isn't an ad free version of Reddit you'll be getting with this sub. It's still Reddit with ads.

Plus you need the $$$ before the API bill and there'll always be some amount of mismatch between the expected usage and actual usage of users
