Verge interviewed the maker of Relay for Reddit and says he might survive on a subscription only model of $2-3 USD per month. Lots of limitations inherent in that, but maybe.

How do lemmies feel about this?

As a long-time user of Relay I was very happy to see this the other day. To be honest, I don't get why more apps aren't in a similar position. Only hint I had is when the Apollo dev posted backend code, which made me think maybe a bunch of these apps are funneling API calls through their own proxy rather than calling reddit directly.
