Apollo will shut down on June 30th
#Apollo has been amazing since I began using it years ago. After 6/30 (or before) I will close out my 10 year #Reddit account. Just like I did my 15 year #Twitter account. This long thread I linked above will give enough context as to why. Reddit does not value their true core of what made Reddit Reddit. Users. For years they have profited off our submitted content to turn around and treat users this way.
Also what chaps me is that Reddit did not even make their own app! They bought a third party app (Blue Alien) much like Twitter did (Tweetie). They owe their success to these developers more than anything. Entire situation is dare I say bullshit.
