Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

Exactly my scenario. They really fucked the chicken up with the move to charge for API access.
It's amazing how history always finds a way of repeating itself. The ignorance to not acknowledge what happened to digg, and what sent so many to deadit is laughable. I would be very interested to see what traffic looks like now to reddit, and how much of it is coming from their app, which I think they said they will start charging a monthly subscription fee for. That CEO should have the cheese touch after that debacle.
THEY ARE CHARGING FOR THE APP???
What alternate reality are they living in?
FFS. It doesn't even work half the time.
You'd think that knowing they were going to do this they'd have put some effort into making it work a bit better, but no.
Lmao a subscription to use the app
Really a subscription for the basic tier app? That would be madness.
Of course it's madness now that they charge $50/year now for premium. It was paying the highest' tier of Apollo and it was $10/year and actually had features I wanted.
