For Selig and many other developers, this was nowhere near enough time to find $1.6 million a month. Worse, Reddit only gave developers a month to comply. The acrimony between Reddit and third-party clients was first made public by Selig on May 31, when the developer said that Reddit was planning to charge apps that used its API substantial figures for access - in Apollo’s case, this would be $20 million a year, far beyond what Selig felt was a reasonable amount. Both Twitterific and Tweetbot allowed users to decline refunds to show their support for the developers.

After Elon Musk bought Twitter, the company drastically raised the price of API access, forcing many third-party clients to shut down.

It’s reminiscent of a similar dispute between Twitter and the creators of third-party clients Twitterific and Tweetbot. As well as that, Apollo is also offering the “Goodbye Apollo Wallpaper Set,” a collection of over 20 mobile, tablet, and desktop wallpapers designed by supportive artists.
