• It’s frankly a bullshit excuse, the devs of a handful of apps don’t make any sort of megabucks. The prices given were Fuck Off prices, the ones you give knowing they’re exaggerated and unreasonable to someone you want to go away. They wanted to just kill them off. The fact that this happened after Reddit out and out neglected mobile access for years until 3rd party apps existed, then bought out one, stripped it for parts and threw it out to make their monstrosity is specially jarring.
