if you want to post links or discuss Reddit over the next while, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy, thanks! (a more formal body may be forthcoming, but that'll come in the morning if so)

Spez has already said that doing this {when talking about Apollo} is “not allowed”, so likely this method will get blocked or your account will get banned. You’re here now so IMO it doesn’t matter

Why wouldn’t it be allowed? They don’t want to deal with billing a bunch of people?

Because the goal was to ban third party apps and they don't want people trying to dodge it. u/spez seems to be personally offended by their existence and wants them gone.
