I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with charging for API access but the amount they're charging is ridiculous. Most reddit/lemmy apps pay for the imgur api, for example. Only difference is that imgur wants significantly less money than reddit so it's sustainable for app developers.

That makes me think how a lot can be summed up as: people want to support what they love, but don't want to be taken advantage of.
