That's not anywhere close to anything he said.

He was perfectly happy to pay reasonable pricing for API access or to pass through ads if Reddit included them as part of the API.

His issue was that Reddit's pricing was obscenely more than they generate per user, functionally made it impossible for developers to pass the costs on to the users even if they wanted to, dropped it on him with minimal warning after very recent statements that they had every intention of leaving API access alone, and then repeatedly fucking publicly lied about him when he had the audacity to tell his paying customers what was going on in the very near future.
