I had a feeling they’ll put something like this, so I went in every now and then to see how infinity will react. I really loved the app, devs did an amazing job

      A least $15 a month.

      Non power users probably wont pay, and any lower and they’ll definitely lose money.

      I don’t see how paying more than Netflix will do anything other than kill that app.

        Yeah, this is for people really addicted to reddit who don’t plan to stop, but for some reason have an issue with using the official app despite plans to continue contributing to the platform. It’s kind of conflicting stuff. So now they are willing to pay monthly subscriptions just to use a third party app because they love reddit that much but hate the idea of using the reddit app?

            That’s the real issue. I would have gladly paid Apollo $5-$10 a month considering how much I used the app and loved it but the fact that so much of it doesn’t go to the developer because Reddit wants to charge 27x more for 3rd party users is ridiculous.

      I only read from the Apollo guy, that the amount of requests the users of his app make, would get him to pay reddit 20 million a year. So, the more popular your 3rd party app is, the more they would have to pay Reddit.

      The one i use, Sync for Reddit, is also dying before the 1st of July arrives. From there on, the new prices apply.

      Reddits motivation for this, is to get paid for API access by companies like ChatGPT. They suck reddits content, our posts, in order to feed the AI with content. I assume they do it big style and Reddit wants to cash in for this.
