Reddit is Apollo for me. Just like Tweetbot was Twitter. I'm not going to say I'm never using Reddit again because I'd be lying. But just like when Tweetbot went away and I started to use Twitter way less, I think the same will be for Reddit simply based on the experience. It's just not the same.
Got a tip for us?

Losing Tweetbot and Apollo in such quick succession hurts.
Both such well built apps. It’s very sad.

Well, good bye reddit. It was good while it lasted.
You would have thought that the suits at Reddit saw the backlash and **** that came after Elon killed off all 3rd party apps on twitter....
Guess they have the same kind of kink for the backlash that Elon got

Don't bother using Reddit on mobile. It is going to be a nightmare now. Shame on Reddit!
Deleted my Reddit account a few months ago, and I have not missed it. Got back a lot of my personal time. I did pay for a lifetime subscription to Apollo, but I deleted my Reddit account first!
Well, I'm done with Reddit. Some copycat will pop-up because people are fed up with greed like me and we'll move on while Reddit withers and dies.
Apollo is literally run and designed by one person (he

Nice. lol - glad to see I am not alone.
I also got https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6443919232 - his app here too lol.
I deleted my account a few days ago and the free time is amazing, lol.
Bummer. Maybe the major subreddit shutdown from the 12th will send a message, but unlikely.
Guess I'll spend more time reading and spending time with my family - all good things. Sucks, though. Reddit was fun.

File for a refund from iTunes. Just renewed my 9.99 yearly fee but I am not losing anymore money on Apps shutting down. Love Apollo but not sure how I feel about this. No notification to current subscribers about this. I get to read it here.
Hope spez gets the karma coming his way. Lying piece of human garbage.
So disappointing a solution couldn’t be reached.
Reddit really lit a dumpster fire with this one, but of course the same management that stand by this bad of a decision are the same who couldn’t care less about users feedback.

Been an Apollo user for many years. Thanks for all you have done Christian. Wish you the best of luck in whatever you do next. I'm sure it will be just as successful
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ll go from using Reddit throughout the day to using it sporadically on my desktop.
If a significant enough number of people do what I believe I will be doing, then the platform with thin out more and more, resulting in fewer and fewer results from Reddit appearing on Google searches – even further reducing the validity of the platform.
This has happened before, and will happen again. A new platform will fill the gap, as people move-on from Reddit.
I was there, Gandalf, I was there 3,000 years ago for Digg 2.0… I was there when nerds left in droves to find a new home…

Part of the reason Reddit is doing this is that third party apps skirt the site’s ads (promoted posts). I can fully understand Reddit having a problem with this. But expecting the Apollo developer to pay millions of dollars per month to access the site is completely unreasonable.
Thank you Christian for making Reddit useable for the past few years. Good luck on your future endeavors!
I deleted my Reddit account on Tuesday. There was more to why I did that but the 3rd party app thing was a contributing factor. I will miss talking about SF Giants and SF 49ers games, but I won't miss the site as a whole.
If Reddit think I will switch to their crappy app they are sadly mistaken. Goodbye Reddit I hope you join Digg in the dustbin of history.
