If the paid API wasn't rolled out as a complete trainwreck I'd probably be paying. And probably wouldn't be here, too.
Relay was my app for 12 years so I wish him well with this but I'm not planning on going back to using it or reddit.

@ernest, here's a nsfw screenshot in case it doesn't appear for you. https://i.imgur.com/il0uZC4.png
We’re already bad comprehending IA.
No kidding. I don't get why Iowa thinks they should be the first state in the primaries. They haven't been representative of the whole country in ages.
There's a subreddit for everything, including every kink you can imagine.
As a long time relay user but not an Apollo user, my impression from reading all the drama of early June was Apollo had a lot more features than I had seen before, and that was what set it apart from other clients. More features means more API calls, generally.
As an example, I had relay poll for PM once an hour, but I remember seeing Apollo was doing it every few minutes or maybe alongside thread views so notifications were more immediate. The user experience would be better but at the expense of far more API hits.
I find this to be highly regional. Plenty of places will ignore that you exist beyond the payment. A minority of places perhaps, but the hospitality isn't universal.
That's a bit exaggerated. "Corner" stores of any kind are rare in suburbs as they are zoned for residential use only. However, there are often small areas zoned commercial scattered around where a small number of shops are located. I'm pretty sure land use planning requires these things to avoid exactly what you were describing.
I've never been more than 10 minutes from groceries or gas in the suburbs. Now rural life, that can mean some planning if you need anything at all. And if you want to do anything remotely interesting you're almost always going to be traveling some distance. And with very few exceptions cars are practically mandatory.
Edit: times based on car travel, not walking.
There's two of us! Really the minority in this thread. For me there was no guide so i was extremely confused at first. Then I found it interfered with one of my most used apps that featured similar gestures so I turned it off and never went back.
I'll never understand how people find value in and spend time consuming this kind of commentary.
Wow. I read through most of the pages. What a convoluted system! Besides several new terms that are interdependent and poorly defined, this scheme is going to be impossibly opaque to users and orders of magnitude more complex than upvote/downvote. I especially don't like that points are directly related to karma, when karma whoring and botting are prevalent. Last thing we need is karma earning one some measure of influence or control in a community.
They clearly think this is something people will simply get used to should they not enthusiastically embrace it. Why they think that in an era of other platforms dumbing down interaction to nothing more than an upvote I can't wrap my head around.
What a colossal waste of resources. Thankfully it appears to be opt in by sub for now, though I doubt that will last.
If it's a wiki where's the edit feature, or an invite to contribute?
This looks to be well researched but by one person. There are weird limitations (only one brand of kitchen knives? That's a bold move!), very US centric, and very male centric.
Open it up wiki style and it will be useful. I'd love citations pointing to authentic discussions, too. Right now it's not much more than other best-of BIFL sites out there.
It was specifically exempted from API fees due to it's stronger accessibility tools and that it is open source and non-commercial.
