developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also--here's their latest coverage (h/t @[email protected]):

It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too

Question:

How do you address the concerns of users who feel that Reddit has become increasingly profit-driven and less focused on community engagement?

Answer:

We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable.

This is where I lost all hope.

There'd be all kinds of better ways to go about making profit / becoming financially sustainable. This is blatant ignorance and mismanagement, without hearing or seeing anything. Complete mismanagement.
