Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can’t charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn’t made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

    The thing is that it really is no longer about 3rd party apps working or not, rather, the level of disrespect displayed from Reddit towards us, their userbase. That’s why I’m not going back.

      Exactly. Relay user here and it’ll continue to function but…

      1. Fuck spez
      2. I don’t care to support reddit anymore
      3. Reddit’s content for my feed is already turning to garbage. I’m already finding kbin and lemmy better.

      Good riddins.

      Exactly. Even if spez rolled everything back, I’m not going back.

      All trust in Reddit is now destroyed because of Spez.

        Fact is even if Reddit rolled back the changes it’d be the classic “let’s see how far we can push our user base then we’ll roll that back to acceptable levels while slowly pushing those limits through later updates” strategy

    When the API shut off early, Apollo dev u/iamthatis (@ChristianSelig) revoked his token so I cannot see any of this; but I’m wondering if reddit isn’t pulling a silent reversal of this to stem the bleeding of users and content. There is a lot of useful stuff that has been deleted. The AMA staff resigning and all the stuff migrating to fedi. No matter how much f-u/spez tries to shout “This is fine”; the building is still burning all around him.

    Bet they left turned access back on.

    The r/blind mods said RedReader stopped working for them what a total clusterfuck to have the key accessible app not work while others are.
