Looks like the smaller apps, and Narwhal has an NDA, so I’d bet they cut a deal with reddit to keep the price really low, in exchange for something, possibly forcing reddit ads into their app.

All have gone to a subscription format, which is still ridiculous. Reddit isn’t worth accessing for any price monthly.

If reddit was willing to cut a deal for narwhal why weren’t they willing to cut a deal with apollo or RiF. If reddit just handled the situation better I would probably still be using it today and paying for a subscription for apollo. Now if I did that I’d feel like I’d be rewarding a company that treats its users with contempt and there’s no way I’m doing that.

Because RIF and Apollo were hugely popular.

Reddit wants to give you the faint idea that you have a choice instead of actually having a choice.

A cornered animal who sees 1 way out isn't as unpredictable than a fully cornered one.
