Relay for Reddit app stays as one of the few remaining third party apps for Reddit and they are forced to go to a subscription model but the cost of such a subscription is related to how many API calls per user are done.
This screenshot was taken from the yet working patched Sync for Reddit app.
That’s messed up. I wouldn’t put up with that shit. It’s like counting digital calories
LMAO yeah, that’s an exclusive way to put it.
Reddit’s only allowing a handful of these apps to limp along for now to keep up the fiction that they didn’t kill 3rd-party apps altogether. These devs are doing all this work to eke out revenue models based on hypothetical costs that can change any time Reddit updates their APIs, changes API call pricing, or updates the site’s functionality. Reddit’s management was completely unrepentant about lying to and about 3rd-party devs just a couple of months ago, and all of the risk around underestimating API costs are on these devs. I hope that none of them get billed or sued into bankruptcy over this.
I am still astonished that there are people over there still dealing with this shit.

For real, does the Relay dev even get a proper cut?
They’re literally supporting Reddit for a shitty user experience
It’s like when you used to pay for internet by the minute. Is it worth seeing what that picture will look like in 4 minutes when it’s done downloading?
lucky for them soon reddit will be a ghost town, so api calls will be very reasonable vs subscription price I guess. thanks SPEZ!
I recognise that app…
Best Reddit client for Android so far!
(シ_ _)シ
just stop using that shit site lol, these people are ridiculous
If my patched version of revanced ever stops I can’t say I’ll ever go back to all my lovely lil niche subs.
It works fine if you’re a mod, as it sits in the free tier
