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

Reddit? Now here's a blast from the past! Is that thing still around? I've not been there since Sync died.

I’m one of those

Yes, "some." I dumped that shit like a bad habit when Sync died, and I'm far from the only one. Reddit has gone from Apollo to appal_ling_.

Been on reddit for nearly 8 years (baconreader only), tragic really but it's been pushed into a direction I don't want to be involved with. Did the same with Facebook and haven't been back.

It'll go the same way other platforms have done before. Acting like they are irreplaceable when they are anything but.

Looking forward to being here and contributing to a growing community, get a good felling about here!

Yep, I'm also one of those. I love Apollo, think the reddit-app sucks and also /u/spez is a dick.

To me third party apps is what made Reddit special. Now Reddit is just another social media platform, so I’m staying far away.

I’m enjoying pixel pals though, and I recommend others give it a go too

Deleted my account and deleted some of the content I had on there. I didn’t have a big account anyway and mainly lurked.

This was me but with Boost, loved that app.

Well, i walked away once my BaconReader stopped working. I wasnt going to use the Reddit app, or even get into the habit because it isn't that good.
