It looks like Reddit is following in the cursed footsteps of Elon Musk's Twitter by removing third party apps. It isn't doing it directly: as Twitter did, it's hiking the price it charges third-party developers to connect to the service and making the price so high it's unaffordable.
The news comes via Christian Selig, creator of the excellent Apollo app. Posting on r/apolloapp, he shared the details of a call he had with Reddit about their pricing. "Bad news for third-party apps," he wrote. "Their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is." That's much more money than Apollo could possibly hope to bring in, let alone pay out.
