To each their own, but I find this decision really misguided.
It's her money, not mine, so whatever, but l do not expect her to turn a profit in, rather the opposite.
In my view, the cross section of "IfR" users and people willing to subscribe monthly is rather small (especially if the money mostly goes to reddit - assuming I could afford it, I, for instance, would rather fund an open system like Lemmy).
And if Apollo's dev Christian Selig decided that it wasn't worth it with an already established paying user base, who already has a strong culture of subscriptions and exaggerated pricings, and one of the highest volume of users, at what probably was the peak usage of the platform; I don't see how a small app like IfR can survive.
That, or Christian made a pretty expensive mistake...
I guess my hope, although knowing it is naive and improbable, is that come 1st of July, the few people that were staying to see If reddit backtracked their terrible mistake, following the shutting down of the 3rd party apps will either stop using reddit all together or slowly begin using it less and less, that much I think will happen.
Then, my hope is, seeing the slow down on content creation, traffic and user interactions reddit will slowly and discreetly, trying to save fuck-spez's face, roll back on some choices or make some concessions to allow 3rd party apps to come back ... But not holding my breath on it.
I know at this point in time, seeing spez dissimisive attitude and knowing it's not on their best interest to look weak or relinquish control of the site to the user base, once the decision was made, they won't go back unless the ramifications are near catastrophic, like losing all together 100% of the people that like me used 3rd party to browse reddit.
End of rambling.
