I don't really buy the phrase "go quiet" in terms of API usage, it does sound like the developer was backtracking when called out on it

  Definitely. It just makes no sense otherwise.

  Why misquote? He said "have Apollo quiet down" not "go quiet" he only said "go quiet" after the Reddit rep said that, in response. At least have your facts straight.

    Okay but what does this even mean in terms of API usage? Why would Reddit buying Apollo "quiet down" its API usage? I accept I may just be missing something here but I don't understand this.

      Because if reddit owns it, they can shut it down and nag the users to install the official app.

        It’s getting shut down even if they don’t buy it.
