Was just about to say the same. Google often like to pick up their ball and go home after releasing something good. Maybe it’s time we stop relying on cloud apps and go back to good ol’ fashioned locally run applications.

I tried to come up with a witty reply, but sadly that's not my forte.
Just waiting for Reddit to say the mods aren't doing a good job and replace them, ironically, with fully-sighted mods.
We're currently in that weird limbo phase. Too late to use Apollo, too early to use Artemis. It truly is a weird time.
Great seeing there's quick progress on this, though. Thank you!
Is this a lost Lemming?
That's the solution I've ended up going with too. Hoping to get my hands on the iOS Beta of Artemis soon, though.
I wonder how long it'll be before they scrape the bottom of the barrel and send that message to me for closing the r/dfshow sub. The sub is a support community for my DF-SHOW Unix (and Unixlike) terminal file manager. I was planning on unveiling the sub as part of the 0.10 release of the project, however, the API drama kicked off before then.
If they do decide to forcefully reopen the sub by kicking the only moderator, who is the sole developer of the project and currently the only subscriber to the sub, then we'll know they're desperate!
BlackCat announced it would delete the information if Reddit gives it $4.5 million and reverses API price increases.
Now, unlike Christian Selig asking for $10 million to essentially sell Apollo to Reddit, this actually is a threat. Let's see what Steve Huffman's response to this is...
Heck, imagine if Reddit didn't charge so much for their API, I'm sure someone would eventually wrap an integration to drag Reddit kicking and screaming into the Fediverse
Hang on, if we (and by we, I mean those that still have Reddit accounts) will be able to vote out mods, why not demand that we have the ability to vote out the board too? They want more democracy? They should extend that to the whole of the platform. Seems reasonable to me.
Either that or submit a pull request to the Kbin project. Unlike Reddit, Kbin is open source.

I am kinda hoping that with increased revenue, they can afford to get more licences for other content. But I think the video streaming services is too fragmented now for that to be a reality. Unlike audio streaming where it’s a lot more sensible.
