Reddit; Charging for the API essentially killing almost all 3rd party apps.
The secret is they made it easy to bypass, the API still works if you moderate any subreddit, even if it’s one you just made. They made it just difficult enough to move the 99% of normie users to their own app.

Are you certain it works this way? I find it hard to believe

Yes, I’m still using Joey just fine. A lot of the apps were disabled by their creators through.

Can confirm, I can use Boost for Reddit on my main account which is a moderator for a sub, but my second account which has no moderation abilities “breaks” the app until I switch back.
