Title. Have you guys ever considered what would happen if Reddit were to crack down or disable API access to all the third party clients running around?

There’s rumors Reddit will go public as a company soon, and they’ve been pushing heavily into the ad space. The nice thing about all these third party apps is we don’t have to see those ads at all. But I imagine that the total user base across all third-party Reddit apps is huge across the various platforms, which makes it an untapped pool of ad revenue for Reddit.

All cards on the table, I’m considering buying the lifetime subscription for Ultra right now since I love this app. But I was just curious to see what you guys think would happen if Apollo were ever to go down.

Question for Christian - with the current integration with the Reddit API, do they serve up ad posts as well and you just ignore them when displaying the various feeds? If so maybe Reddit could just make a hard rule that you can’t filter the posts you grab from the API or somehow serve the posts and ad content together from their end. I’d be totally fine with that as long as this app gets to live.
