That's assuming that Apollo brings in enough revenue to cover the costs and they want to run a business.

I'm not a user of that App so excuse me if I am mistaken, if Apollo is currently free and without ads then the developer had a lot less to worry about then than now.

Additionally the outrage, as far as I am aware, has less to do with Reddit needing to make money rather it's way of going about making money is killing the user experience which kills the point of the website.

No, that's not the thing, they are already a business. They sell three tiers of the app, one of which is a subscription. The current price of the subscription is $13/year.

It's not killing the user experience, it's making the nice user experience "just" more expensive, which I covered in my first comment.

" It's not killing the user experience, it's making the nice user experience "just" more expensive, which I covered in my first comment. "

So there's a point where that price is too high for people to bother paying. 13/year maybe acceptable, is 26/year?

This will lose Reddit users which loses the point of the site (for the users). Which is killing the user experience.
