Apollo to shut down; developer has receipts – Six Colors:
I gotta be honest, this Huffman guy sure looks like a lying creep, and all of Reddit’s public statements about honoring third-party apps seem like an attempt to lie to Redditors so they don’t look like the bad guys. But the bottom line is that Reddit repriced its API in order to bankrupt third-party apps. (Selig says he’ll lose $250,000 in the shutdown.)
No Apollo, no Reddit. I deleted everything I had ever posted save for the last Goodbye to the dev and a hope he moves his attention to ActivityPub related services like Lemmy… And deleted my account. When the refund offer comes up at the end of the month I intend to decline, he’s more than earned that for putting up with Reddit management.
