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?

    Are you willing to test. If Boost is working it’s a matter of any day it will shut off. Boost Dev is already making a lemmy app. Reddit is gonna die and hard!

        Reddit will be fine in the short term sure, but anyone who actually gave enough of a shit to put in the effort needed for it to work well have left or stated that they will no longer do anything more than the bare minimum. Reddit will still be around for a while, but it will never be the same place it was, and eventually will just become irrelevant as it’s overrun with trolls and scammers. I give it 3 - 5 more years before it disappears without fanfare and no one will care.

        I’m not contributing much anymore with Apollo gone. The official mobile app doesn’t pull me in like Apollo did. I may be in the minority.
