        I surmise this was about as long as they could stay solvent given the new API call charge rate Reddit implemented.

        Honestly there’s gotta be a discrimination case in here somewhere. One stupid decision ruined a ton of jobs.

      They wanted to switch over to a subscription model. I assume many people like me who used to use infinity just bailed.

      Edit: I actually dug up the source for this. It still worked for non subscribers until now. Apparently that will stop on august 30th. The headline is misleading. Starting in September it will be the aforementioned subscription model.
