Is anyone else also been gettin loading errors on Apollo since yesterday? I’ve stayed off since then but seems like they are already messing with API access already.

There seems to be a misconception by a lot of corporates that shoving ads down users throats will make the users want what is advertised.
Personally, I go out of my way to avoid anything that are shown to me intrusively.
I'm hoping that a lot of the subreddits that has gone dark would remain dark indefinitely. Granted, the Reddit admins might try to replace the mods on a lot of the subreddits - but at that point the community may not be the same anymore.
Unlike some of the 3P [third-party] apps, we are not profitable - Steve Huffman, Reddit CEO
Translation - we don't have control of the 3PA and they are getting in the way of moooore profit, so we want them gone.
That's the only logical conclusion. Wouldn't really make sense otherwise.
I did earlier.
Too bad there isn't a way to also see traffic stats of reddit. Curious to see the affect.
But....but...I like lurking.
The OpenCollective link seems to be reaching an error page a, FYI.
