I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn’t want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.

Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?

    I think if they’d framed it properly, in that by using Apollo I’m bypassing their ad revenue and costing them money, I’d see it as a reasonable compromise that I pay for Premium to support the company and carry on using Reddit in the way I preferred.

    Now? Fuck u/spez

      Yeah. Like two or three weeks ago if they said third party apps need to create a couple dollar per month subscription, then I probably would have bit. Now, with the current leadership? Nope.
