- The third-party Reddit app Apollo will shut down on June 30.
- The developer of Apollo is the person who started the furor over Reddit’s upcoming API changes that threaten all third-party Reddit apps.
- It appears the developer is not ready to wait to see what happens with the planned protests on June 12.
- Other popular Reddit app RIF will shut down, too.
Update, June 8, 2023 (03:18 PM ET): Shortly after the announcement that the Reddit app Apollo would shut down on June 30, the developer for RIF (aka reddit is fun) announced the same. There will be a formal announcement with news about how the shutdown will work, but after June 30, RIF will no longer work. We expect many other Reddit apps to make similar announcements today.
Original article, June 8, 2023 (02:14 PM ET): Last week, app developer Christian Selig created a Reddit post in which he described some huge changes coming to Reddit. In the post, he made it clear that all third-party Reddit apps will face enormous fees for accessing Reddit APIs. The fees were so high that running a third-party Reddit app would be essentially untenable.
