Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

Huh, it seems to have logged me out after the 30th and is still working now.
What does this mean though? Don't want the dev to get charged

Yeah I remember how they tried telling the Apollo dev that the bills won't be due for 30 days so that was like giving them more time. I'd expect that any apps that are still open are going to get a bill in a month.

Narwhal is still open too, I pulled up a list of my subreddits to look for equivalents.

You can't just charge people out of nowhere when they didn't sign a contract and blatantly did not consent via their announcements their apps were dead

Narwhal announce they had worked out a deal with Reddit
