There's a reason reddit started charging for API usage.

It surely wasn't to force users into their shitty app where they can't block ads and definitely had nothing to do with their IPO. It was the AI.

Ah yes, its only because of ONE singular reason they started charging for API usage. Are you okay? I'm listing one reason out of many as to why reddit started charging for API usage. After all, reddit is a for profit website.

Does "a" not mean, one out of many in this context? I know English is not my first language, but I've always taken "a reason" to mean one of many.

You said:

> there is a reason

What's in the garage? There's a car. I wouldn't expect to walk in and find many cars.

Had you said:

> this is a reason

that would convey it was one among potentially many.

Either way my comment wasn't even about you, it was about Reddit, so idk why you got riled up.
