I had a feeling they’ll put something like this, so I went in every now and then to see how infinity will react. I really loved the app, devs did an amazing job

    I don’t think it’s going to work out for them in the long run, most users aren’t going to want to pay the cost to keep it running and then they risk the possibility of crack groups cracking it and then they are on the hook for API usage they aren’t getting paid for. I appreciate they want to try and keep it going, I use that app, but I don’t see the potential costs as sustainable.

      I don’t understand why people will be willing to pay for content they fit for free for 20 years. The betrayal feeling is real abs with all the lemmy migration meaning less content and no NSFW? I would rather burn my money before paying for this shit

      What I’m seeing from some of those groups is that they at going to mod the app to let the user give their own api key.

      For apps shutting down it gets even more extreme. Apparently the backend server code for Apollo is going open source. So some folks will use a modded Apollo app and run their own backend.

      All just to use reddit for a single user 🤷🏽‍♀️

          Ah, well, this is coming from the cracking and piracy subs. I mean we’re talking about the folks who keep modifying Alien Blue so it’ll continue to work with modern Reddit on a modern smartphone.

          Not sure what they have planned for dealing with NSFW.
