Apollo was already a nice app so why didn't reddit just buy apollo and integrate ads into it and just keep the features that made everyone happy.

I think what we are doing right now is what‘s back then been called a "secessio plebis". During the secessio plebis, the plebs would abandon the city en masse in a protest emigration and leave the patrician order to themselves. Though in our case more than enough stay back for spez to lord over them, but I‘m enjoying the vibe here a lot more.
