Okay but what does this even mean in terms of API usage? Why would Reddit buying Apollo "quiet down" its API usage? I accept I may just be missing something here but I don't understand this.

Because if reddit owns it, they can shut it down and nag the users to install the official app.

It’s getting shut down even if they don’t buy it.
