If Reddit really wanted to make this work they could've worked something out. They know the apps developer keys and could have specially given them a longer runway to transition similar to how they are giving accessibility exemptions[1]. To speculate... I get the sense in part that Reddit hung the big apps out to dry for being publicly vocal and interacting with the press. Apollo probably was already lacking in sympathy with executives for being the reddit app getting air time at an Apple event. It would be petty if true but it is unfortunately no less then what I expect from Reddit. Reddit came out looking dysfunctional[2] and sleazy throughout this. There was no good reason for this to blowup in the way it did.
