Announcement 📣📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.(self.apolloapp)

Hey all,
I'll cut to the chase: 50 million requests costs $12,000, a figure far more than I ever co...

If it is, I'm out of here too.
A lot of us will go.
Looking at the current stats, I don't think Reddit would even care if 80% of old.reddit users decided to leave the platform.
On the sub I mod they currently make up only ~8% of unique visitors compare that to ~23% on new Reddit with the rest on some combination of mobile.
At least, that would be the initial plan until they have to deal with the backlash of most moderators quitting leaving many subs as pure anarchy.
Are there stats on activity/engagement levels? Anyone using old reddit has been around for several years and has a high level of loyalty to the platform; I wouldn’t be surprised if they were more active commenters/posters. Hard to say, though.
Also just realized this change is going to nuke a lot of bots that are beloved and active parts of the community. RIP.
The only other stat we have available is pageviews which tell a pretty similar story (even more leaning toward mobile if anything).
Most bots will be okay outside of the largest subs as in theory they can make 100 API calls a minute, widely used ones may suffer though. And god only knows if bots on NSFW subs are going to work anymore as they've been incredibly vague on that.
Mobile dominates on the sub I'm most active on. Old Reddit is the least used platform. If Old Reddit was most used we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I expect them to take over the big subs to avoid the subs locking, and then they'll survive the wave of discontent. And that'll be that.
holy shit, 69% (nice) of reddit users are on mobile?
Bear in mind that it's a sub for a mobile game so data is likely a little skwed but, based on talks with others, 60+% is a typical baseline with larger subs being higher.
There's a reason so many now refer to Reddit as an app.
Do you know what percentage of your mobile users are on the official app?
I sometimes open reddit on a private tab, where it defaults to the awful new reddit interface... and I am genuinely shocked at the amount of ads disguised as posts there are. Stomach-churning stuff. How has it gotten so bad? I've never seen those on old reddit.
That’s the only way I can browse Reddit on PC. If I lose Apollo and old.reddit I may just be done entirely.
Ohhh yeah. The Old Reddit + RES combo is my jam. If that goes away, I'll probably use the site significantly less, if at all.
