Apollo was already a nice app so why didn’t reddit just buy apollo and integrate ads into it and just keep the features that made everyone happy.

    I would imagine that they would consider purchasing an existing client if they hadn’t already gone out and developed their own.

      To be pedantic, they didn’t develop their own. They bought an existing client and then Frankensteined it.

      I’d assume they didn’t see a need for a second one, though.
