100% agreed. My wife uses Apollo because it handles accessibility (particularly Dynamic Type) better than the official app.

If Apollo development stops because of exorbitant API pricing, allowing "accessibility focused" apps does fuck all for any of Apollo's blind users.

Accessibility should be part of all apps, but clearly that's not a priority for reddit or she wouldn't be having this problem in the first place. This insinuation by reddit that blind users should be corralled into some special "accessibility focused" app is just PR to cover the fact that they're trying to kill the most accessible reddit clients.

I had to scroll too far down for this, exactly what my first thought was. The web page and native app are just not that great once you've worked with Apollo and some of the other apps like baconreader come to mind.

This would be true even if they had a decent UI. They should allow people to innovate on top of their platform if they want to grow their user base.

Cutting off their own path to growth that tells me they're in cash-cow mode, so the business strategy is to auger their way into profitability by squeezing money from an ever-shrinking user base.

If that's the case, they should also be laying off people to juice margins... checks... yep.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Are there any good reddit alternatives out there yet?
