I don’t know if I agree with the characterization that Apollo is a fully direct competitor of Reddit.

Okay, hold on, timeout. You go to the App Store, you type in Reddit, you get two options, right? There’s Apollo. You go to one, it’s my business, and you look at our ads, use our products. That’s 95 percent of our iOS users. The rest go to Apollo, which uses our logo, or something like it, takes our data — for free — and resells it to users making a 100 percent margin. And instead of using our app, they use that app. Is that not competitive?

Isn't apollo free? Am I missing something here? I have no idea what he's getting at. If a dev is making your service B E T T E R then leave them be or just make a better app! They're bringing people to his site. Apollo should be charging reddit at this rate!

Big clown moves from this fella, he fell out of the goofy tree.

Apollo is free but there are a few features that cost money, but you don't really need them rly. Steve is just stupid.
