I feel so bad for Christian. He's been an absolute role model in handling thisβ€”calm demeanor, transparent communication and willingness to compromise (which Reddit obviously doesn't have).

He's put so much work into Apollo and stayed composed so far during the shutdown process. What scares me for him is the risk of refunds now: whoever subscribed to a premium tier can have the purchase refunded since he won't be able to provide the service. I hope not too many will go the refund route.

A lot of people claim that they bought the premium tier even after the announcement in API changes to support him, despite 3P apps shutting down in 3 weeks. I feel like most users will be supportive and not refund, myself included (Sync pro)

I second that. Poor Christian. What an absolute chad!
