At $0.24 per 1,000 API calls, this must be the most inefficient backend code to ever exist if that's "fair pricing" as opposed to ridiculous pricing.
no no, it's the apps that are inefficient. I mean, I'm staring at my Lemmy instance and I'm pretty sure that the thousands of requests I've taken in have warranted...
