Yeah I saw that too, spez is a piece of shit, did you also see all the lies he made up about the Apollo dev? It was so childish lol
Yeah. I was following all his posts even though I preferred a different app. fuck spez and fuck the dev of narwhal for being a boot-licker.
Fuck spez, certainly, but I can easily understand why Narwhal’s developer took the deal. I’m sure they invested a huge amount of time and effort into their app and it’s hard to walk away from that when there’s a viable path forward. Apollo’s dev would have probably taken the same deal, had it been on the table. The problem was never that Reddit needed to start charging for API access, it’s that they priced it unreasonably high after assuring devs they wouldn’t and also gave very little notice before those prices took effect.
