Apollo has an opt-out sub refund screen out. Since I unfortunately know, first hand, all about this process I'll say this is all incredibly stressful. If you ever had a sub for Apollo, even if you uninstalled it and deleted Reddit, go check it out and at least consider it.

It's probably only a few $s for you but those $s get multiplied by 10s of thousands of subs and end up being real money straight out of Christian's pockets.

Reddit has good comments too. With my personal favorite “why didn’t the money get escrowed for 12 months?”.

@paul Though the comment is in terrible taste and likely incorrect in many ways, the discussion about the liability is correct.

The revenue was not earned until the end of the sub period, should have been shown as a liability on his financials, and should have systematically been recognized as income.

It’s a terribly worded comment, but the accounting portion isn’t incorrect per se.

@joshginter @paul The comment is quite rational and likely to be correct. Unfortunately most replies here are completely sensational. The repost by Paul is also highly likely to just get people bashing on the comment, which is of quite bad taste.
