Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can’t charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn’t made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

    Exactly. Even if spez rolled everything back, I’m not going back.

    All trust in Reddit is now destroyed because of Spez.

      Fact is even if Reddit rolled back the changes it’d be the classic “let’s see how far we can push our user base then we’ll roll that back to acceptable levels while slowly pushing those limits through later updates” strategy

      Give Apollo a contract guaranteeing free API access until the end of time without nonsense restrictions on content and maybe I’d think about it. Short of that I’m all set.

      (No it’s not just Apollo. But he’s the most wronged and the one I use.)

      His name is Steve Huffman, using Spez means he gets to avoid a lot of the public criticism through google searches etc.

        After the whole Brock turner the rapist crusade (deserved) I’ve been sitting here scratching my head why spez wasn’t named and shamed with his real name by the same group.
