    It’s worth noting they did already have a subscription model in place with Sync for Reddit. The difference would’ve been in losing the ad-supported free version of the app due to the API changes.

      And instead of just making it subscription only he decided to kill the entire app…to then come here and milk the Lemmy crowd and show them ads lol.

        Reddit was the one who killed the app by implementing the API changes (it actually killed a number of apps earlier than expected that day).

          No, what killed the app were the devs choosing not to switch to a subscription-only model.
