3rd party app for Reddit, Boost, is still functioning well after July 1st (www.reddit.com)

Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

Relay is also still working and the developer (dBrandy) plans a subscription model

dBrady* although dBrandy sounds very amusing.

A damn, didn't check what my autocorrect did.

I doubt any of these third party apps are going to recoup the named API cost with so many people fleeing reddit. Seems like a big gamble to me. Maybe Relay re-negotiated the price.

I wonder if they just high balled, expecting app creators to negotiate them down instead of taking the offer public and burning things to the ground.
