One of the remaining 3rd party Reddit apps (Relay) has begun discussing what it would be charging for subscription fees. Imo, they actually seem somewhat reasonable. The weird thing is that every upvote or downvote is an API call so you can rack up a huge number of API calls from voting.
Also, while the costs might be reasonable now, there’s nothing preventing Reddit from jacking up prices again.
Edit: Also, there wouldn’t be any NSFW content with the app.
You must log in or # to comment.
I really don’t see the point in them restricting the NSFW stuff. Some stuff will slip through, it’ll lead to posts being made in ways to try and reach the most people and get around it.
Then there will be arguments and someone will say think of the children or something.
Also, you can bypass the restriction by making yourself a mod of a subreddit 🤦🏾♂️
I heard that. I was going to try it but then I thought nah. They are killing off Joey the app I liked using why would I want to stay?
Haven’t b and n back since Joey stopped working.
That does seem reasonable.
Makes me curious, did Reddit finally budge on the pricing or did this dev figure out a way to optimize calls? Latter seems unlikely given each vote is a call.
I do remember people saying that Apollo was badly optimized for API calls.
I always felt like there has been some backroom negotiations between Relay and Reddit because Relay has (allegedly) been eating the costs of the API calls. Doesn’t seem like it would be cheap for the dev to just eat that cost.
