Space Travel Can Actually Have A Bad Impact On Astronauts, Especially On Their Brain Parts.

JAKARTA - After Reddit launched a new price for App Programming Interface Access (API), Apollo took steps by closing its platform starting June 30.

Apollo is a third-party Reddit app that is so popular with various features, updates, and interacts with users to get feedback on new functionality.

Reddit manages its own app, but doesn't have the same feature options as Apollo. However, to keep running their business, they have to pay $20 million per year or equivalent to Rp296 billion.

According to Apollo developer Christian Selig, the price is quite high, and with this decision, he guarantees that everything will be fine without income from the app.

"Starting from a free API for 8 years to suddenly causing huge costs is not something I can do properly in just 30 days," Selig tweeted. Now, the iOS-only Reddit app will start closing later this month.

Selig's decision comes moments after app developer RIF (Reddit is Fun) announced the app would also be closed on June 30.

It is claimed that the other third-party Reddit app also made a similar closing announcement this week following a controversial change by Reddit itself.

The Reddit community was also angry to see the same thing, and to protest against the change, a number of subreddits planned to go dark on June 12.

Including r/aww, r/videos, r/Futurology, r/LifeHacks, r/bestof, r/gaming, r/Music, r/Pics, r/todayilearned, r/art, r/DIY, r/gadgets, r/sports, r/mildlyinteresting and many others, as quoted from TechCrunch, Friday, June 9.

Some of these communities reach millions of double digits in terms of size. In total, 2,740 subreddits have agreed to participate in the protests, covering more than 1.31 billion users (non-unique).

For information, Reddit first announced its plans to adjust its API price in an interview with the NYTimes, as a way to help keep the online forum site from becoming a free pass for companies training their AI systems in large internet plots.

The move, said Reddit, was not meant to kill third-party apps, but it was difficult to see how this didn't happen, considering the company also needed more income.
