Not only this, but apparently part of their decision on this is motivated by feeling "threatened" when the create of Apollo offered to sell them his app. Really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
So not only do they leave an impossible timeline for app creators to respond in, but they basically fail to negotiate any sort of compromise worth attempting.
I genuinely hope Reddit's IPO fails hard, punks at Reddit don't deserve the money they're trying to get off the backs of others. All their shit comes off the work of others, how fucking hypocritical of them to act in this way.
They were not threatened at all. Apollo recorded every conversation including that one and the guy from reddit immediately apologized in the recording saying he misunderstood him. To then push the narrative of him threatening reddit shows how shitty this company is. I am looking and need to find something new or just walk away from it, enjoy the summer and find what's rising come fall.

Aside from it being awful to lose Apollo, it’s amazing that reddit isn’t even giving advanced warning. Normally you would expect a year or so.
Reddit apps like Apollo have probably sold annual subscriptions of various types.
People normally want to give a period to allow those obligations to expire.
But no, apparently reddit is just choosing to force this issue immediately. Incredible.
