To each their own, but I find this decision really misguided.

It's her money, not mine, so whatever, but l do not expect her to turn a profit in, rather the opposite.

In my view, the cross section of "IfR" users and people willing to subscribe monthly is rather small (especially if the money mostly goes to reddit - assuming I could afford it, I, for instance, would rather fund an open system like Lemmy).

And if Apollo's dev Christian Selig decided that it wasn't worth it with an already established paying user base, who already has a strong culture of subscriptions and exaggerated pricings, and one of the highest volume of users, at what probably was the peak usage of the platform; I don't see how a small app like IfR can survive.

That, or Christian made a pretty expensive mistake...

Subscription with less features (no nsfw). That's a no from me. I will not be using reddit on mobile.

echo 'I will not be using reddit on mobile.'| sed 's/ on mobile//g'

Useless use of the global flag.

You don't need echo if you use the here string:

sed 's/ on mobile//g' <<< "I will not be using reddit on mobile."

I don't think that's posix compliant

EDIT: It doesn't work in dash which is posix complianr

True, I was assuming zsh/bash - https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC3011 has the posix-compliant equivalent.

Dash isn't the POSIX reference, this is.
