I can’t wrap my head around this, it seems so bizarre. The only reason I’m here now is because I joined Apollo right after Reddit changed its app to remove the sort by rising feature. It completely changed my experience on the app for the worse and I sought out an alternative, and I know I’m not the only one that had this complaint. I was a faithful Reddit user/poster on the official app for 6 years until just a few months ago. Why would they make their app less user friendly a few months before announcing the crazy API changes. They drove me away from their app and then drove me away from the site altogether.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? It just makes no sense to me

    The issue was never charging for the API, it always started off as the insane price, the lack of communication, and the timetable for these changes.

    Then it became all about u/spez’s behavior. Most of the subreddits were going to do just a two day blackout but his actions really made people realize what a piece of shit he is.
