What I've read on this is Reddit didnt only allow, they encouraged third party apps to help get the word out and have people use their product. This relationship was fine for 10 years until Elon started charging crazy prices for API and now reddit is following suit. Always funny to see you dumb bootlicking fools protect the big corporations when the people running 3rd party apps looking for a little fairness. It really is no wonder humanity is where it is, not only because we're too fukking selfish, but also too fukking stupid to realize we, the regular ol people, continue to get fukked and people throw their shoulders up. Like it's just as easy for you to get the fukk out of the way instead of pretending you know what's going on and saying the talking points of CEOs and millionaires :scust:
This is what I’m saying

Then charging the content creators is like Craigslist charging users to post ads or Brooklyn charging the gif makers here to “host” their smileys and gifs

The shyt is backwards

Can someone explain this? And what the hell is Apollo? I'm all the way lost.
Apollo is a app on the iOS store. You use it like you’d use Chrome to browse.

Reddit doesn’t want you to use Apollo (Chrome), they want you to use their app (Internet Explorer)

The consensus has always been that their app is dogshyt

Now to force their hand, they’re going to charge the app maker of Apollo $20,000,000/month

Apollo is an app that’s like $1 for unlimited use.

This is just for that particular app, there’s dozens of apps that are getting killed off because of this

It’s way deeper that this but I think you’ll get the gist of why people are backing off.

Reddit is more reliable than google search alone, which Is why I attach "reddit" to end of my keyword search for almost everything


The results you get from in-depth discussion on that forum eclipses the barrage of irrelevant chery picked articles and ads that tend to litter the 1st page or two of Google search results.

I'd hat to see them go but shooting yourself in the foot is shooting yourself in the foot.

You have to be stupid as shyt to not understand how valuable Reddit is. “They should erase the site”…these nikkas, man smh. It’s not about going there to chat with people. It’s about using that shyt as a search engine for the information you’re specifically looking for and having others that have already done what you’re trying to do…
I made alot of money by taking tips from Reddit

They aren’t charging the content creators (Reddit users)…:comeon:

They are charging app creators and developers who have heretofore had free access to Reddit’s data (and were making money off of it).

Not anymore. Time for dat ass to pay up!
