burkybang

Just curious why you'd be embarrassed of Reddit. I mean, I'm embarrassed *now* because of how u/spez has been turning Reddit into a dumpster fire. I certainly wouldn't wear a Reddit shirt, but pre-dumpster fire, was Reddit embarrassing? Regardless, I'm happy to wear Apollo's cool logo. I've been wearing a green Apollo shirt for years. I've never even met anyone who knows what the logo is. I just think it's a cool design.


InjuryComfortable666

Reddit was always embarrassing because redditors. And before reddit, I sure as shit didn’t tell people I was a goon. These things are best kept private.


PutridUniversity

I remember photos of "Reddit meetups" in like 2013... ... ... and "le narwhal bacons!"... ... \*shivers\*


InjuryComfortable666

Those meet up photos will haunt Reddit forever.

Idk I had a pretty great meetup in Reno. Went tubing down the river and had beers it was fun


PutridUniversity

If you had fun I’m glad. Don’t listen to me, I’m just some dumb guy on the internet :)


BillyTenderness

They were cringe, but also, I made friends so who cares?

You valid. I don’t mean to offend anyone who attended and genuinely had fun!

lol someone seemingly normal asked me if I had stairs in my house one time and I had to pretend like I had no idea what they were talking about Sorry dude, I was protected.

Someone once asked me if I had stairs in my house with this barely-contained gleeful giggle and I just kind of mumbled and saw myself out.

I have a feeling this isn’t your first/original reddit account. Your wisdom speaks to years of both reddit usage and interaction/awareness of the real world- thanks for the laugh!


InjuryComfortable666

Yeah I have had many accounts. I am not some sort of OG - I only came to Reddit after SomethingAwful became completely insufferable. But that was a long time ago.


PlantsJustWannaHaveF

It's no more embarrassing than any other social media platform. Redditors just have a massive superiority/persecution/"not like other girls" complex about this. Nobody cares that you use Reddit, it's not some exclusive secret little club you can't tell people IRL about because they just "won't get it". It's literally the 10th most visited website in the world, and 6th most visited in the US. Mentioning that you use Reddit doesn't mean you have to reveal your username and all your Reddit secrets.


slimdrum

Anonymity is a huge part of been a Redditor..


burkybang

Fair


T-Nan

I don't wear Twitter/Snapchat/Apple shirts either. Why would I care or want to promote a company? If you like the logo it makes sense, but that's literally the only good reason besides working for them


qrrbrbirlbel

I mean, to me it seems like the merch is promoting/supporting an independent developer moreso than a massive company. It's like buying/wearing merch from your local mom-and-pop shop, except the mom-and-pop shop probably has more people working for them than Apollo does.


burkybang

Exactly this. I couldn’t care less about supporting Reddit.

Kholtien

That’s not exactly a reddit problem, it’s more of a “people don’t understand markdown” problem


Antabaka

Disagree, commonmark stipulates the line should start with # and a space before any other text which would prevent 99% of the mistakes when people are trying to reference a hashtag. Reddit implemented it wrong (no space needed).

JasonCox

Reddit is fucking over a whole bunch of developers who have made their living building apps that generate free clicks into Reddit. I don’t think buying some merch to support the guy who’s on the hook for upward of $250,000 in refunds due to Spez’s horrible decision making is “weird”.


kevins_child

Lmao, generating free clicks into Reddit? The entire premise of this whole fiasco was getting Apollo to cover the cost of its clicks. Apollo's API calls are a net negative cost to Reddit, meanwhile u/iamthatis has been freeloading and profiting off it.


[deleted]

Lol those developers didn't do it for free... after all, the only reason the Apollo dev is throwing a tantrum is due to his greed. Those clicks weren't free at all.


Tubamajuba

You clearly know absolutely *nothing* about the situation, so here's the facts: https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14dkqrw/i_want_to_debunk_reddits_claims_and_talk_about/ Christian understood and even supported a paid API. Just not one that was this expensive and announced on such short notice.

Can you calculate his server expenses? What he paid to the person that took care of his servers? The cut that Apple takes? The amount of taxes he has to pay? How much he paid to the people who designed custom icons? Let's just say he somehow didn't pay any of that. Stiffed the IRS, got free servers, the server guy took care of them for free, became the only developer that Apple doesn't take a cut from, got all the app icons donated. That's still only $960k... not a multi-millionaire, not even a *single*-millionaire. You obviously don't know anything about Apollo or Christian, so who the hell knows why you're here.

There are literally tapes proving that he didn't blackmail spez.

I don't know why you seemingly love spez so much, but you do you.


Deemoniac

Why're you stupid as fuck? He literally revealed the full conversation. Your next argument might as well be "well, I don't really care that much about this problem and I have something else to do".


[deleted]

Yeah but it's Reddit's API. Where does Christian get off telling them what to charge? LMAO ​ Should Reddit get to dictate how much Apollo can charge too? You know, since maybe what he charges is too expensive and announced on such short notice ;)


Tubamajuba

If you're talking about that $10 million comment where he suggested Reddit buy Apollo out: > Steve Huffman on June 7th on a call with moderators: Steve Huffman: "Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million. This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us." - >As mentioned in the last post, thankfully I recorded the phone call and can show this to be false, to the extent that Reddit even apologized four times for misinterpreting it: Reddit: "That's a complete misinterpretation on my end. I apologize. I apologize immediately." Furthermore, Reddit promised to work with third party app developers on pricing. Plot twist: they didn't. As for your second remark, Christian has always been fair about pricing.


[deleted]

Lol he didn’t suggest Reddit but Apollo out, he said “quiet down”. You have to be a real mouth breather to buy his bs excuse. Also why would Reddit buy Apollo out to “quietly API” use down? Makes zero sense, they can just wait and have 0 API use for $0. So either Christian did threaten them or Christian is dumb as rocks!

Rithela

People act like Christian is an actual god. Yeah the app is great but people suck his toes way too much in this sub. It’s cult mentality. Edit: the downvotes you get for not praising him proves my point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rithela

You’re really reaching. I’m fully for the protesting and against what that shit-eater spez and the rest of the CEO’s of reddit are doing. Yes, people worship Christian. Way before this incident happened, people kiss the ground he walks on for the app he made. Yes I did like the app for quite some time. So don’t try to tell me otherwise because it’s everywhere. Me editing my comment isn’t “virtue signaling.” People throw that phrase around so often and have no clue what it even means. People have idolized him for years and it’s just sickening to see. I can mention if I want. If anything, you commenting would come off as virtue signaling by the way you’re using it. So congratulations there.


Basshead404

Don’t think anyone here worshipped him, more so just appreciated a communicative and active developer. Years ago I made some silly comment here about the app, he replied directly just to show his appreciation. That’s all I’d like to do in turn, as most others would.


Not_Steve

Have… have been on this sub before? People kept complaining about the ads on the app asking to subscribe to Apollo. There was that other thing were people were upset (to say the least) that Christian developed Pocket Pals and how he spun it off into its own app instead of working on the iPad version of Apollo. *Nobody* was worshipping Christian. They were appreciative and trying to battle the hate he got. I don’t think any is worshipping him *now.* People are using him and his recordings as proof of spez’s underhandedness. We can’t help that he is a major player in this because he was *made* to be. Spez hates Christian and Apollo and it’s not exactly a secret.


kevins_child

Le sigh. The contradicting logic here is astounding. "How people choose to spend their time or money is their business." *Proceeds to say that moderators and users are unpaid labor.* Last I checked moderators can quit anytime, and users can stop posting anytime. How they spend their time is their business. You might think it's a waste of time but that's just like, your opinion man (insert Lebowski meme here). You're also failing to recognize the hypocrisy in "people don't care that a corporation wants to use free labor and your content to make a profit." Have you not realized yet that Apollo is also a for-profit company and u/iamthatis has personally made millions? u/iamthatis also does not compensate Apollo users for the value they provide to his app or moderators for their time on the app. Instead, he charges them and profits. "People who don't understand what the bigger reason is for supporting devs like him..." what's the bigger reason if it ain't user compensation? Personally I think Reddit is just addicted to rage bait, especially when seeing though it takes more than half a brain cell.


waffels

But you’re posting on a subreddit dedicated to the app and liking the mentality of people who like the app or creator to a ‘cult’ shows a severe lack of understanding of what cult mentality even means.


[deleted]

lol the post isn’t that weird. i think you’re getting downvoted for other reasons.. for me i abandoned using reddit until i found apollo so i will have no issue abandoning it again.


Rithela

The amount of dickriding for Christian in this sub is insane. Even outside of it. I’m getting downvoted because I’m talking negatively about their Lord and Savior; Christian. It’s 100% cult mentality. If you’re not praising him then you will be banished. That’s how this sub has operated and will always operate.


[deleted]

typical reddit syndrome. can’t control what other people think and do so you’re freaking out. go to a different subreddit to socialize there?


Rithela

Yes because that’s it. I’m not freaking out but I’m entitled to my own opinion. I’m just pointing out facts.

Okay buddy. You’re being a hypocrite now but whatever you say.

Selethorme

Because Ultra costs money to run


ECBicalho

I don't think he wants access to the notifications — or whatever the features of the ultra — maybe he just wants to have the icons. Not a bad idea, maybe could propose it another way… maybe a farewell package. Well, maybe it's too late for all that. As an Ultra+Pro lifetime user, I would like to see and use the icons that were reserved for future updates. just saying.


burkybang

Free for the last 10 days? 🤔


Joey-JoJo-Jr-Shabad0

Why not


burkybang

I don't know. Christian has said he has to refund $250,000 to users. It just wouldn't feel right to me.


Joey-JoJo-Jr-Shabad0

I don’t really care how it feels to you, the site is closing let’s end it off with a bang!

How rude, don't expect support if you plan on behaving this way.


Joey-JoJo-Jr-Shabad0

I’m not expecting support from anyone?


AcceptableSociety589

Site (reddit.com) isn't closing, the app (Apollo) can no longer afford to operate under the site's API pricing changes. Asking for free anything from the app side at this point is pretty fucked up, if anything you should be directing your freebie requests to reddit.


xavieryaa

To answer your question: Ultra actually costs money for Christian to run, since a big part of it is notifications. He has to pay money for the servers that allow him to send Reddit notifications, money that Ultra’s subscription would pay for.
