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...

Yeah and when it ran out and I saw ads again I bailed so fucking fast, which is when I found Apollo.
I won’t be staying if it happens again.
Exact same scenario for me
Same here. Ugh this his such horrible news.
👋 same as me! So bummed. :(

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact
Glad to see some other alien blue holdouts, I kept it with the second to last update and it worked for a long time, but then I broke my phone and was forced to switch.
It's probably on borrowed time too, but I think rif (reddit is fun) is a great app for Reddit. But I don't blame you for wanting to leave on principle alone.
I think if Apollo can’t do it, RIF won’t have a chance.
Probably not. But it still exists, for now.
So does Apollo, for now
Yeah fair enough, not sure why I thought it was already dead.
Not that it matters now anyways, everyone is fucked lol
Lol that is nuts I did the exact same thing.
As a Charter member my first big disappointment came when I started seeing ads again. They altered the terms of the deal, apparently.
Apparently I’m like the 6th person to do this so joining the train
exactly what i did too!
So serious question I hate horrible intrusive ads as well but what ways could Reddit make money? Id happily pay Reddit a buck or two a month and I think that would be more than they could make with ads from me since I don’t click on ads ever lol. they gotta make money somehow but third party apps shouldn’t be the middle man. Reddit should be a buck a month and Apollo should be what christian thinks he’s worth.
Same
Exact same here.
Although I was still able to sue Alien Blue since it was backed up on my Mac
I don’t like corporate greed, and I may be missing a lot of context here. But I love Reddit as a platform, and I’m concerned about a lot of content being lost from people leaving, deleting accounts, not posting anymore. I use Reddit for everything from entertainment to car and computer repair tips, niche hobby stuff, tons of things you can’t just find with a regular google search. We all love this platform, but serious question, if everyone was on a third party app with no ads then how would Reddit make enough income to stay running? I know as it stands they’re raking in money, but they do have costs associated with running. Staff salary, servers, other infrastructure etc. I despise the rich and how corrupt capitalism is, but being a realist, I don’t fully understand the significant user base that seems to want all of the benefits Reddit provides without wanting Reddit to get anything in return even for operating costs. It’s either ads, or selling our data, or a subscription fee, or no more Reddit. I’ll probably be downvoted but just an honest question. I’m not a Spez apologist or anything, he sounds like an asshole TBH.
