If the protest fails, there was nothing of value left to lose. Reddit has had ample opportunity to make things right in a way amenable to the people complaining. Instead, they've consistently signalled that they want to keep dumping th

This was something that the Apollo dev (and a few other apps) were interested in, but the timing was just too sudden to make work. Specifically for Apollo, they had been selling year-long subscriptions for $12/year. With the API pricin
