Apollo has become the center of a platform-wide fight between Reddit and its users.

Honestly, at this point I don't know if they even gave more time and a lower API cost that it would bring me back over to reddit. They showed their "profits over community" stance and I just don't want to play with their toys anymore.

Same. Seeing his copy/paste answers (literally) makes it near impossible for me to go back. The company clearly exists to now extract as much value from the users as possible. I didn't go there to be part of an LLM or an advertisers focus group, I went there for the community. If the community moves elsewhere, I have no problem dropping it. If the community stays, I'll build what I can here.
