Reddit's API pricing causes multiple app shutdowns, including Apollo.
TL;DR Summary
Other Reddit apps, including rif is fun for Reddit, ReddPlanet, and Sync, are also shutting down due to the company's new API pricing. Developers cite Reddit's hostile treatment of third-party apps, including high expected costs, blocking ads, and removing sexually explicit content. The shutdowns follow outrage from Reddit's userbase and developer community over the API changes, which could be very expensive for developers. Reddit plans to host an AMA with CEO Steve Huffman on Friday to discuss the latest API updates.
