To me, Apollo WAS Reddit. Period. When Apollo shut down, Reddit shut down.

Same, but with Bacon Reader. Wonder how that IPO is going to go now?

It's so rare that I see anyone talk about Bacon Reader anywhere but that was the only app I liked. It was so minimal but still felt like it had everything I needed.

On the bright side, Reddit valuation has dropped from $10 billion to $5.5 billion in two years...so there's that.
