- asdff 3y agoThey make no money off me because those ads are blocked on my web browser just like they would be on a mobile app. It just seems like the same sort of thing to me when you boil down what the things are, but I can see why reddit wants to be punitive and capture most of the market. It sure sucks to see the site slide that way though.
- t4rwr4ng1er 3y agoCapture most of the market? What market? Apollo is using Reddit's servers to make the API calls, so how is blocking it "capturing the market". Sounds like Apollo should pay for their own server infrastructure and make their own Reddit instead of a passthrough app that generates 7 billion API requests a month LOL
