Popular Reddit App Apollo Would Need to Pay $20 Million Per Year Under New API Pricing

Apollo is easily one of the very best iPhone apps. It's a damn shame that Reddit's management is taking the Muskish way out and effectively shutting off API access with exorbitant pricing.
An ideal compromise would've been requiring third party clients to display Reddit ads while exempting ads for Reddit Premium users.
I hope someone is working on open-source fediverse-based alternative to Reddit.

Apollo is also a gold standard for accessibility features. Such frustrating news.
If you have an Android device you can use an open source app called Infinity. Personally I like it better than the official app ,no ads, free and open source.

Anyone feels like Reddit is totally wrong for this and going into full-greed mode?
Reddit without Apollo is not worth it to me. I’ve already deleted my Twitter account. Reddit is next.
This is a really bad precedent for social media. Tinfoil hat moment but I can’t help but feel some sort of conspiracy brewing by the powers that be. Social media connections were really what brought humanity up to speed with each other, and it helped us resist and protest the elite in so many ways. It feels like they’re doing this on purpose to disconnect all of us again.
I really hope we can get back to an open and free internet soon. One that is not driven by profits.

Let's boycott, not that I've ever used Reddit 
One would think that the pricing reflects the monetization of users on their own app, but I somehow doubt that.
Between this and Imgur basically destroying r/gonewild… what reason do I have left to go on Reddit?
So disappointing. The Apollo app is SO good. I miss the internet of the 2000s and early 2010s. It used to be such a freeing, creative place to be. Now, it seems like everything that used to be good about the internet is going or has gone away.
It’s still going to be subject to the same API rules…If you have an Android device you can use an open source app called Infinity. Personally I like it better than the official app ,no ads, free and open source.

You obviously only looked in the areas of this. The subreddits I go on are extremely helpful. I get better help with HomeKit on there than here.
The Apollo app is great and far better than the official Reddit app.
twitter has record active users so far. lolReddit is a cesspool echo chamber. Hopefully it goes the way of the dodo (Twitter) very soon.
Apollo is so much better than the official Reddit app.
I’ll stop visiting Reddit if Apollo isn’t available.

Yep I’ve found Reddit to be great. Probably because communities can moderate themselves and you can stay out of communities and away from people you’re not interested in. Much easier than with Twitter. There’s not as much of an algorithm out to mess with your mental health.
This is Reddit’s way of effectively banning third party apps without actually banning them
Yeah, I guess waiting for it to lower itself to the golden subterranean standards of Eloser's ****ter is a more realistic bet. Same **** either way, and it appears it's mostly already there. Here's to the next round of "performance-based layoffs!" 🥂✨
because people can pay $8/mo and get their comments boosted to the top, even if their opinions are crap and/or get no engagement. Doesn't mean it's good for the majority user experience
Another sign of the shifting economics of the internet. Things are changing and what was enjoyed before will soon be gone.
If my choices are a.) use the stock Reddit app with ads and tracking or b.) never use Reddit again… I guess my Reddit account will be joining my FB and Twitter accounts in the dumpster of social media.
Reddit's app is crap and riddled with ads unless you want to pay $60 a year which is way over what Apollo charges for a better experience. Bye bye Reddit when this goes live. Greed continues to ruin what were once good social media platforms.
