I had a feeling they’ll put something like this, so I went in every now and then to see how infinity will react. I really loved the app, devs did an amazing job

    Yeah like $5 a month for more casual users. And people paying for apps tend to use them more. I think Apollo’s calculations were like $10-12/mo for higher end users? Anything over $5/mo is probably a no-go so I wonder if it’ll be viable.

    And if Infinity’s userbase makes $5/mo viable, I wonder if they’ll get flocks of users from other apps and if that’ll make it non-viable with high-traffic users.

    Or maybe they’ll go with a post-paid plan where you pay by usage? That seems iffy.

      Keep in mind too, that even with the paid API usage to the best of my knowledge the 3PA still will not have NSFW/porn content in the feed. How many people are going to be willing to spend $5-10/mo while also having reduced content?

      Which is nuts. I was Apollo Ultra, and that was $10/year.

      I honestly never looked into Reddit premium until all the API drama and was shocked it is $50/year, while only offering a fraction of what Apollo offered. Crazy pricing.
