I don't miss reddit, but this notification hit hard
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
You're viewing a single thread.
What are they going to charge?
Any number higher than FREE.99 is too high just to access Reddit.
Definitely. I'm just curious what amount makes it worthwhile to keep the app alive
Couldn't agree more!
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.
I thought all the power users were banned or not bothered powering anymore?
It’s going to be a slow glorious death
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?
I guess if the app's dead either way, they don't see any harm in giving it a try.
It's just giving money away to Reddit.
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.
Reddit fully intends to kill third party apps slowly while milking their dying bodies for profit
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.

That's not their only motivation otherwise they'd be charging only the companies like chatgpt for access
They're charging one of the third party apps $20 million for api access
