Reddit used to have principles that aligned with the open source model. Now they are removing mods that protested their API pricing. They have changed and that is how they are killing the goose that lays golden eggs. Everyone was cheering for them to succeed. Not anymore. The good will people had towards reddit is gone. They killed it.
It's going to cost $20mil a year to run Apollo with the current API pricing. It's not sustainable. Reddit is killing themselves like Digg did.
Too bad that's only in the areas it's easy to wire.

Last I checked the stats, fully 80% of the U.S. has no real alternative to their ONE local cable company for broadband internet.
Even worse: the big cable companies, like Comcast and Spectrum, have those parts of the U.S. divided up into "non-compete zones", in which one company has pretty much exclusive domain over the whole area.
Which is illegal as hell. Anti-trust laws haven't been taken off the books. But far too often these days they have been ignored.
The app is needed for sharing your random anonymous ID with other phones that use the software, not with Google/Apple.
