He put his email address at the end. As I told him in what I’m sure will be jillions of emails about the subject:

> Have just read your amazing, sad, comprehensive Reddit post about the end of Apollo.

> I was one of those long-ago paid-once users :-) and happily used Apollo for years. When I found out a few days ago what was happening to you, I actually deleted Apollo from my devices so I wouldn’t inadvertently cost you money through background stuff once Reddit’s API fees went into effect. Then, as I got really mad over what they’d done to you and the other third-party app devs, I spent hours deleting every comment and every submission I’d ever made to Reddit — because, of course, they don’t have a UI where you can do that easily — and then killed my account after seven years, just because all of this had made me no longer want any association with that platform.



For anybody who would like to mass delete their own comments and submissions: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/


Note: Reddit switched to archiving posts older than 6 months by default many years ago. Individual subreddits can opt-out of this behavior. If they have not, you will not be able to edit/remove your comments or posts there.


This seems like a much more effective protest vs. subreddits going dark.
