Reddit had a no good, very bad week. Reversing on its 15-year support of 3rd party apps, new API pricing makes using anything other than the official app financially unviable. And with just 30-days before changes take effect, indie devs are on the hook for potentially millions of dollars of unexpected costs and/or App Store refunds. I talked with @christianselig about how it has affected Apollo, the best iOS Reddit client out there.

@snazzyq @christianselig @donmelton I decided to radically reduce my Reddit usage recently. I had a toxic mix of subreddits and bizarre recommendations, and I was spending too much time filtering out noise and feeling generally exhausted by Reddit.

Sounds like it’s going to be a permanent change for me. Reddit seems to shooting itself in the foot in its haste to go public. Back to USENET for me. /s

@snazzyq @christianselig @donmelton if I only I still had my old NorthStar Advantage CP/M machine, I could fire up my trusty PBBS system. Now that was some tasty dial-up.
