Reddit's API changes spark drama and threaten popular app.
TL;DR Summary
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has doubled down on accusations against the developer of the third-party app Apollo, which the company had previously accused of operating inefficiently and not being a good "API" user. Despite community backlash, Huffman confirmed the company has no plans to revise its coming API changes. Other third-party apps are also closing down, including Sync, RIF and Reddplanet, to name a few. Huffman seemingly has an ax to grind with Apollo developer Christian Selig in particular, first accusing the developer of extortion.
