Can someone explain for those of us who don't know? The comment links to this image right now https://imgur.com/6liBpal and I see Disney+ and then some streaming media phone app.

Apollo App is a popular UI for Reddit because their App and website are famously terrible (and Apollo is slick and awesome).

Reddit told Apollo dev they would soon be charged $20 million per year.

So various Reddit communities will go dark for 48 hours to boycott / protest

This was a picture taken by Apollo's developer, Christian Selig. It's just him showing he was there in person. While he got an invite to watch the event at Apple's campus, he was surprised by the shout out.

For more context, with Reddit's API licensing fees, his app will go defunct should they continue forward.

Oh I see, the photo is unrelated to the shoutout. The shoutout itself is described by this user https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36205917

Thank you.
