Now no one will ever see all those super long !remindme bot posts set for 5, 10 or 15 years on Reddit

RemindMe bot is no longer functional following the API pricing change, and many Redditors are still unaware of this fact.

I thought bots were exempt from paying?

I think only mod specific bots were immune. As idiotic as Reddit has been, it might still be running, but, how will it remind those of us that erased all comments and then deleted our accounts? I have a feeling that wasn't an official bot, so it was probably programed correctly so it won't spam them with replys to deleted accounts 😢

I looked it up now, and it does sound like Reddit made an exception for the reminder bot according to the bot's dev: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/13yo8ay/will_the_reddit_api_change_kill_remindmebot/

maybe remindme bot should pass through all API calls to Apollo and solve this whole moronic escape room detonation

Solid work, and solid username. I'm feeling better about the fediverse every day.

"what're you gonna do, arrest me??" -RemindMeBot, maybe

Oh shit no way, I didn't know that? Is that the case for most of the random reddit bots? For some reason hearing that the RemindMe bot is dead as well makes me extra sad 😥
