I had a feeling they'll put something like this, so I went in every now and then to see how infinity will react. I really loved the app, devs did an amazing job

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

What are they going to charge?
Any number higher than FREE.99 is too high just to access Reddit.
Definitely. I'm just curious what amount makes it worthwhile to keep the app alive
Couldn't agree more!
A least $15 a month.
Non power users probably wont pay, and any lower and they'll definitely lose money.
I don't see how paying more than Netflix will do anything other than kill that app.
Yeah, this is for people really addicted to reddit who don't plan to stop, but for some reason have an issue with using the official app despite plans to continue contributing to the platform. It's kind of conflicting stuff. So now they are willing to pay monthly subscriptions just to use a third party app because they love reddit that much but hate the idea of using the reddit app?
It’s going to be a slow glorious death
I guess if the app's dead either way, they don't see any harm in giving it a try.
It's just giving money away to Reddit.
That’s the real issue. I would have gladly paid Apollo $5-$10 a month considering how much I used the app and loved it but the fact that so much of it doesn’t go to the developer because Reddit wants to charge 27x more for 3rd party users is ridiculous.
Reddit fully intends to kill third party apps slowly while milking their dying bodies for profit
I only read from the Apollo guy, that the amount of requests the users of his app make, would get him to pay reddit 20 million a year. So, the more popular your 3rd party app is, the more they would have to pay Reddit.
The one i use, Sync for Reddit, is also dying before the 1st of July arrives. From there on, the new prices apply.
Reddits motivation for this, is to get paid for API access by companies like ChatGPT. They suck reddits content, our posts, in order to feed the AI with content. I assume they do it big style and Reddit wants to cash in for this.
That's not their only motivation otherwise they'd be charging only the companies like chatgpt for access
They're charging one of the third party apps $20 million for api access
