Goodbye, Good Reddit Apps
Goodbye, Good Reddit Apps
To kick off June, the world of 3rd party reddit apps was put on notice – prepare to pay by the end of the month or go away, they were essentially told. And well, it’s now June 30 and very few appear willing to pay. The end has come for some of the best reddit apps. For those catching up on this...

I saw someone in another thread say that the NSFW change wasn't due to go through until the 5th so they could be waiting to do it all together.
Reddit also may have gotten their bluff called with all the bad press, the devaluation. etc.

Infinity is also functioning, despite throwing up a message saying that it will stop functioning on July 1, and that the developer is going to need more time to transition it to a subscription model, so who knows. I don't have a subscription, and I haven't modified it with a custom API key or anything.
It might be that Reddit decided that they would not cut off apps that said that they would transition to subscriptions after all.
Same with Boost, still working and wasn't supposed to after July 1st. There was to be no subscription for that app either, so it should have died for sure. So strange.
Reddit just didn't apply the API policy yet
@The_Batman @fne8w2ah I think they'd announced it would be going subscription only at some point.
