Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

I did. I now only go there with adblock turned on for google search results. Hopefully this place develops niche pages like r/California and r/TeslaMotors soon though.

I haven't willingly been back since the 12th. Shithead CEOs aren't going to profit off my contributions. If everyone did the same it would evaporate overnight

Yes, "some." I dumped that shit like a bad habit when Sync died, and I'm far from the only one. Reddit has gone from Apollo to appal_ling_.

To me third party apps is what made Reddit special. Now Reddit is just another social media platform, so I’m staying far away.

I’m enjoying pixel pals though, and I recommend others give it a go too

Yup, tried the official app for 1 hour, gave up

[–] 1chemistdown@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

BI is missing all the other 3rd party apps that users have left too.

I was a BaconReader user, but yeah when they took that away, that was the final straw for me. I can get my doom scrolling fix anywhere, thank you.

There is no Reddit without Apollo for me. I can't stand the changes Reddit has made over the years, so I'm fine to leave.

[–] samwise@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Same. Ill be honest I tried to use reddit on my laptop and even old.reddit is just not as good as apollo was. I hope the fediverse can get app support like that in the future

[–] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Same here. Once Apollo stopped I stopped going. During the last month I was bookmarking the sites I was reading stories from that was being posted on Reddit. So now I go straight to the source.

This is not news. Please don't post these 'extremely slow news cycle' shit articles. Everyone who is here already knows this and has had it repeated to them ad absurdum.

This article is about as informative as 'Ted Cruz is a bad candidate' 'Random people are mad at rich folks' or 'water is wet'

This was me but with Boost, loved that app.
