Related to another Reddit app, but not RIF:
The Relay for Reddit dev (u/dbrady) is bravely working on Relay. I got an update yesterday. The changelog said "further reduce API calls". I think he actually wants to make it a paid app, which I'd gladly pay for.
I hate the Reddit change as much as the next guy, but if the Relay dev can actually make a profit from it that'd be awesome. The app cost a one-time $4 or something, which I'm sure he never made bank with. Having like $3-5/month for it would probably be sustainable.
I appreciate it, and that's probably the right move. Unfortunately, I know that I wouldn't want to pay that, knowing that I'd be helping feed Reddit.
My sentiments exactly! The app developers will make the same, all or most of that fee will go straight into reddit's pockets.
