I gotta admit that I'm a bit disappointed with the owner of Relay for Reddit as he decided to stay and turn it into a subscription model. He might have attached his cart to the wrong horse. That's what I want to believe anyway.

It's probably hard to give up entirely on an app you've been working on for so long.

Won't all nsfw content be invisible to third-party apps?

So people aren't paying to keep reddit alive, they're paying to have some advertiser friendly, bot-ridden husk of reddit available outside the official app.

Those outsized API fees don't even get you the original reddit experience, it's disgusting.

I don't blame the dev, but I also don't understand his decision.

Why not take money from those who want to give?
