I still don't have any idea what apollo does or did for itself, reddit or anything. Even though reddit has been covered with cryposts about it, going dark etc etc not a single one I ever found explained it in any way.

I'm glad it generated so much fun drama though. Anything that makes redditors cry is a good thing. :marseythumbsup:

Lmbo, that Apollo guy is delusional. He argues that his generous calculations say Reddit earns $0.12/month/user, so they should only be charging him $0.12/month/user while he charges $5/month/user. Absolutely unhinged.

Apollo (third-party Reddit app) offers to sell Apollo to Reddit for $10 million, says it in a spergy way so Reddit thinks he's blackmailing them, Reddit says no.

I think the real winning move would've been to offer to buy Reddit for $10 million. Even if they didn't accept, I think Spez would respect his moxie and give him a job.

I could speak (or write) for half an hour about how the API changes are a net benefit, & how they will force Reddit to internalize the support systems & anti-abuse infrastructure they’ve dumped on users for a decade, as well as improve user privacy. I have a position.

My position is simply summarisable as β€œThis is a Chaos Ladder Festival which will rob oxygen from the rightful problems that should be protested”.

This is Pride month. The anti-LGBTQ legislation going up around the US has a precedent in post-Weimar Germany. The people promoting these blackouts over β€œReddit is ending abuse of their API” sure aren’t protesting hatred and legalized harassment. This should be a month where people are politically organizing on Reddit to defeat hatred. This convenient dead-cat-issue now has stolen all the protest oxygen.

Nah Reddit only announced pricing with like 30 days notice, he can’t recoup costs from yearly subscribers and even if he upped the subs he wouldn’t get enough users within the month to offset the insane pricing.

Shut the subscribers down too unless they're willing to pay more to finance the project. Get whatever money it takes from any existing or new subscribers. Cut everyone else off immediately.

II think he might be concerned about the consumers getting mad at him over technically breaching yearly memberships rather than paying them out.

You're right though, this should have gone differently.

ESH

The $10m figure is absurd lol. "This will cost me $20m to maintain, therefore we should split the difference and you buy me out for $10m." lol. Do you think your app delivers $10m of benefit per year to Reddit?

I do like the back of the envelope critique of the API pricing though. I honestly have no idea what a reasonable cost is here but he does a good job of showing that Reddit's new price is too high.

What about the allegations that Apollo is replacing Reddit's ads? Are they not relevant or did this guy ignore them?

Big financial loss for that dev. If what I'm reading is correct, Apollo has as many as 1.5 million daily users active on the app.

Unlocking the app is $5 bucks for a lifetime, there's also a monthly subscription / Ultra plan that I doubt many used but considering :

1.5 million users at a modest conversion of 5% of users who pays for the app is 50,000 paid users at $5 a head is $250,000 of which he's paid $0 to Reddit. This doesn't include any of the bozos who he did catch into his Ultra plan which is like $12.00 a year ongoing.

So despite how butt blasted buddy is who dev'ed the Apollo app, it probably paid for his house while having no return to Reddit Inc themselves.

Where do you see that unlocking the app is $5? That’s a β€œgenerous tip”, which surely isn’t a lifetime unlock? Otherwise why would he have a $20 β€œGodzilla tip”? And the ultra plan is $5/month. Pretty sure you can only unlock with the ultra plan? Dude probably got super greedy.

Was it labeled a β€œtip”? I just don’t see anything in the current iap list that suggests lifetime unlock.

All of the tips were lifetime unlock for β€œPro” or whatever it was called. I believe the minimum was $5 before. The lifetime unlock for β€œUltra” was like $49.99 but it’s also no longer available.
