I gotta admit that I'm a bit disappointed with the owner of Relay for Reddit as he decided to stay and turn it into a subscription model. He might have attached his cart to the wrong horse. That's what I want to believe anyway.

Won't all nsfw content be invisible to third-party apps?

So people aren't paying to keep reddit alive, they're paying to have some advertiser friendly, bot-ridden husk of reddit available outside the official app.

Those outsized API fees don't even get you the original reddit experience, it's disgusting.

I don't blame the dev, but I also don't understand his decision.

It's probably hard to give up entirely on an app you've been working on for so long.

Why not take money from those who want to give?
