Apollo founder Christian Selig said he's "heartbroken" about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit's API pricing changes.

Good for them, and I am one of them :3

Been on reddit for nearly 8 years (baconreader only), tragic really but it's been pushed into a direction I don't want to be involved with. Did the same with Facebook and haven't been back.

It'll go the same way other platforms have done before. Acting like they are irreplaceable when they are anything but.

Looking forward to being here and contributing to a growing community, get a good felling about here!

I did. I now only go there with adblock turned on for google search results. Hopefully this place develops niche pages like r/California and r/TeslaMotors soon though.

I haven't willingly been back since the 12th. Shithead CEOs aren't going to profit off my contributions. If everyone did the same it would evaporate overnight

To me third party apps is what made Reddit special. Now Reddit is just another social media platform, so I’m staying far away.

I’m enjoying pixel pals though, and I recommend others give it a go too

Left as soon as Slide stopped working.

Yes, "some." I dumped that shit like a bad habit when Sync died, and I'm far from the only one. Reddit has gone from Apollo to appal_ling_.
