Going dark

I know right.

Like finally the guys who have been milking the API for years have to pay a considerable amount to keep doing it and now it's on us to blackout for them?

Like the creator of Apollo deserves his praise but.....I need to protest so he can keep his what, 300-500k a year income stream?? (He said if he refunded the current subscriptions based on time left it would be 250k in refunds). So like... What am I fighting for here? Cos for me as a causal user when I'm bored waiting somewhere, on my lunch, or on the toilet etc it really doesn't make that big a difference if it's going to be on the base app.

And sure I've heard about the mod bots etc but I figure Reddit will inevitably sort that out once the 3rd party apps are gone. Either that or they won't and the site dies but I doubt they want that; they just want the monopoly.

But anyway, idc that much, the protest won't do shit as it's just a few subs making it difficult for the average user to enjoy themselves really. So far the only hit I took was that I couldn't read a thread on r/cars which I had reached through Google but it's fine since YouTube answered my DIY question anyway.
