I gotta admit that I'm a bit disappointed with the owner of Relay for Reddit as he decided to stay and turn it into a subscription model. He might have attached his cart to the wrong horse. That's what I want to believe anyway.
Won't all nsfw content be invisible to third-party apps?
So people aren't paying to keep reddit alive, they're paying to have some advertiser friendly, bot-ridden husk of reddit available outside the official app.
Those outsized API fees don't even get you the original reddit experience, it's disgusting.
I don't blame the dev, but I also don't understand his decision.
