    To be fair, the point of Apollo was to also make money. But it was to make money by selling you things that made a nice experience nicer. Reddit makes money by selling you stuff that makes a shitty experience slightly less shitty.

      I said it before on Reddit and I will say it again here—

      If Reddit has asked me for a premium subscription to use my favourite third-party app, I would have fucking paid.

      Just bad business all around

        I don’t know the right price point, but 1 dollar a month probably would have worked for most people. It just wasn’t enough because they probably can make more than 1 by spoon feeding you ads now.

          I’d go as far as 5 dollars a month, which is more than the buck thirty they make off users right now.
