The death of Apollo is literally why I'm starting to look at online spaces other than Reddit as my go-to

Same. Apollo = Reddit for me. Take Apollo out and I have no way to access Reddit (that I’d want to use).

This is what doesn't make sense to me. You want to cut down on reply bots? Sure, they're kinda annoying anyway. You want to do other things to limit the API? Ok. But to just outright make the price so high as to make it impossible to pay? They're literally losing millions of users like you. A lot of Apollo users will NEVER install the official app or use new Reddit. It just seems like the dumbest decision ever. Maybe they've got data that most new sign ups are from tiktok/Facebook/Instagram. So they're just going to ride out the wave until active user count is back at what it was. It just seems extremely dumb to basically tank they're active user count especially as they're trying to do an IPO.
