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

Exactly my scenario. They really fucked the chicken up with the move to charge for API access.

It's amazing how history always finds a way of repeating itself. The ignorance to not acknowledge what happened to digg, and what sent so many to deadit is laughable. I would be very interested to see what traffic looks like now to reddit, and how much of it is coming from their app, which I think they said they will start charging a monthly subscription fee for. That CEO should have the cheese touch after that debacle.

    Really a subscription for the basic tier app? That would be madness.

    Of course it's madness now that they charge $50/year now for premium. It was paying the highest' tier of Apollo and it was $10/year and actually had features I wanted.
