I guess these clients just need to scrape the websites and make post request via website with fake user agents etc. It's a lot of work but for a small fraction of 20m a year you can hire a team who only work on that. Didn't Digg primarily die from a redesign? Why has the web become so forgiving these days? People don't seem to give a shit anymore.

Someone in the thread where the OP linked directly to the Reddit post[0] suggested that perhaps Apollo would just create its own Reddit-like website under the name Apollo, republish it on the app store and then all the users would flock to the new social-media app instead of Reddit. The whole thing is really Reddit's fault: instead of offering to buy-out Apollo and make it official, they are relying on their ultra-sh…
> ultra-shitty interface that nobody wants to use I don’t want to sound dramatic, but the official Reddit app works just fine and is much more popular than any third party client in terms of usage.
First time hearing about this client. I primarily use the Reddit iOS app, which seems fine. What's better about Apollo?

I'm gonna go ahead and say everything. It's faster, no ads, beautifully designed so that it really shines on iOS, you can customize it to no end, ... the list goes on. Check it out on the AppStore if you like (or wait and see how this all turns out beforehand).

A big thing for me is no mystery meat algorithmic feeds… just the subreddits you’ve subscribed to or /all or /popular if you want to look at those. The official Reddit app is bad about doing things like showing you posts from washing machine subreddits because you looked at a post about washing machines once months ago while doing purchase research and it’s really annoying.
> Selig estimates it would cost $20 million a year to keep Apollo running.
No, not a bill.
Arstechnica is getting worse every year with these type of titles.

This is such a good idea even without Reddit's monetization and potentially blocking NSFW content. To me it seems obvious. It's also something that's actually likely to succeed and within the community's control, unlike getting Reddit to change their stance. Like, there's nothing stopping this from developing right now. - "There won't be as many people." That's ok, probably even a good thing. 1.5-2.5 million users ar…

Very interested about this too. It’s missing important features from the official app like chats and live threads.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a legitimate use for Reddit chat… the only time I’ve ever been messaged is by spambots and any redditor I care to message is also on some other platform that does messaging better.
