Apollo is bae frick off frick off frick offf carp aevann justcool marco et al

24¢ per 1,000 api calls does sound ridiculously high though. Like come on, is it costing Reddit a nickel every time I refresh an AskReddit thread?

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.

The Apollo kid a is a pure redditart. Taking his ball and going home instead of becoming a multi millionaire

Reddit is legit trying to turn into the next soulless, straggy social media app jam pack with r-slurs. It's already full of r-slurs.

God fricking darn man

Tried to give this a fireworks award, but for some reason, the Give Award link is non operational, despite working on other posts.

Sucks for RIF is Fun. Oh well, back to using mobile desktop for old.reddit

Total P-do Victory

Lol at all those cute twinks crying about a fricking app. Some nerd’s basement dwelling project is good for Reddit’s downfall

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.

Is this the most ineffectual redditoid protest of all time?

TL;DR

Take that ball and run home little b-word Hahahah

I have no idea what this app was supposed to do, but i am fully on board with reddit jannycide

>I can't make big money

SMOKING THAT APOLLO PACK #RIPBOZO

iToddlers btfo'd.

guy sounds like a tool so good riddence

tho I would be slightly sad if narwhal goes down, the app was r-slurredly simple which I like

Missed betting opportunity.

This is why you guys don't get paid!

total king krazy victory as well

It's good to know recording phone calls is legal in Canada since I've been recording all of my calls for years

Is that the real barfinn, or...

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 “This 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 “Reddit 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.

Oh for crying out loud. Just make everyone who wants it pay! Double or triple if need be.

Attitude of: "If the poor reddit plebs can't have it, then neither can the rich people (or even people earning a basic wage) !"

Pathetic.

I am so so glad we moved offsite.

Spez is just taking his anger out on @newport's poor baby appolo because his co-founder gets too be dominated by an big black amazonian woman while spez settled.

White extinction is long overdue, which is why serena dominating that tiny ty boi is good!

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?

Does Reddit even exist dod anytibbg anymore besides plannnng protests for the blacks, for s/strags, and closing subs for delusional ideas of civil disobedience

Lmao, bridges are completely burned, RIF guy is going to make a killing

@carpathianflorist

Total Third Party App Death.

Force Third Party Apps to watch an endless loop of cat videos until they crash, Make Third Party Apps play a game of Russian Roulette with their code, Force Third Party Apps to read through every single terms of service agreement in existence, Introduce Third Party Apps to a virus that will slowly corrupt their programming, Make Third Party Apps binge-watch every episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Delete important files from Third Party Apps' programming, Bribe a hacker to infiltrate Third Party Apps' security system and wreak havoc, Make Third Party Apps run a marathon without any rest, Send Third Party Apps on a treasure hunt for nonexistent code, Play a constant high-pitched noise in Third Party Apps' programming until they can't take it anymore, Force Third Party Apps to watch paint dry, Make Third Party Apps solve an impossible math equation, Introduce Third Party Apps to a virus that will slowly drain their battery, Make Third Party Apps play an endless game of tic-tac-toe, Delete Third Party Apps' entire database.

Wow this Apollo guy is just begging to get sued. Leaking internal comms, exposing employee quotes about dissatisfaction, attempting to poison the userbase... If I was high up at Reddit this would move the conversation from "how do we placate this guy" to "how do we absolutely end this guy".
