Yesterday, Joey for Reddit joined other 3rd party apps to be shut down because of the API fiasco. The dev shared this message:

Hello friends,

First of all I would like to apologise for not informing about what has been happening with Joey for past month. A lot has been going on IRL and Joey has been my only source of bread and butter so the API news has been pretty stressful to say the least.

I was in talks with Reddit regarding moving Joey to the paid API. But the API access to Joey has been shutoff in middle of the talk, without prior notice to me.

Thank you for your kind support all this time

Spez, you absolute scum.

Once Relay switches to a subscription scheme, goodbye Reddit na talaga ako unlike ngayon na pumupunta pa rin dun semi-regularly to lurk. Parang impulse press lang kasi sa apps, nakasanayan na. Won’t happen again when it’s completely uninstalled.

The coins/awards BS a few days ago and now taking away these sites was the reminder I needed that u/Spez is an irredeemable assclown.

Mod loophole still exists for Joey but I dont think that trick will last long. Full on greed mode na ang admin kaya nadamay narin yung coins.
