Apollo can’t afford Reddit’s fees and will be subject to auto-refund for shutting down, so users can help by declining the refund.

    This is hearbreaking news - and I’m a little shocked to realise that the creators of Apollo can’t simply walk away from the app which got scuttled (or, more likely, actively sabotaged by deliberately extreme Reddit attack).

    They should be able to take this to court to redirect the affected people to claim their refund from Reddit.

      Reddit doesn’t owe them a refund… Apollo Inc. should owe them a refund and the developer simply walks away, because he’s not personally responsible for Apollo Inc’s debts.

          Your definition of a being a nice person is for one individual to take a $250k personal loss instead of hundreds of people only getting 6 months on their 12 month subscription to a news reader instead of the full 12 months?

            Yes and that’s why people like him and will follow him on whatever product he makes next. He’s basically future proofing his brand
