I too left an insanely well paying job due to ongoing moral compromises I couldn’t carry forward with. The thing here is Reddit itself has no value without content provided by it’s userbase. They offer no commodity outside of the hosting and user website. To suddenly rugpull 3rd party developers is a shit move against the community that contributes content which enables monetization via user metadata, ads and coin revenue.

Reddit is actually nothing without it’s userbase, and it’s far-reaching userbase is enabled through phone apps, mod tools and other 3rd party support. Hell even most moderators are UNPAID. It’s a gaint sham to suddenly demand payment from 3rd party developers, and it’s ONLY because they’re losing out on ad revenue and that sweet sweet marketing user data they sell which Apollo (and other apps) do not collect.
