That’s originally what I thought as well, but at least as far as I got into their actual website (linked in the article) it doesn’t seem to be the case.

They were charging $18 for 1 hot dog, $36 for 2, and all the way up to 10 at least it was $180. Absolutely no discount that I could find for ordering in bulk (and to get any further it required me to verify an address and that was more effort than my curiousity was worth).

API gate started it for me. Logged out of my account, never logged back in (refused to contribute to reddit after that), stayed on reddit a few months longer using old.reddit.com, but once they rolled out the forced sign on just to use that it was a straw too far.

Will say I deleted all my comments and logged out of reddit as a protest, though I still browsed old.reddit.com up till they started forcing logins a month or so ago.

Only moved over to Lemmy after that.
