You also don't understand how 95% of the world or 80% of HN lives. $5/month is a very significant expense.

That's fine. If you can't or don't want to pay, you can look at Reddit's ads. I do not use Reddit very much, so it's not worth $5/month to me. But why would I expect to get a third-party ad-free client for free?

>>infofa+(OP)
For the world? Yes it is.

For the average HN user? Lol, no it’s not.

I would wager the majority of HN users can point to several dumb >=$5 expenses in any given month. If you don’t value Apollo enough to pay for it, fine. Just don’t pretend that $60 a year is a morally outrageous amount for software.

Again, compare to the price for streaming services. Hulu charges $8/month an still makes you watch ads.

Depends on who you think an average HN user is.

$5 per month for Reddit is silly though. Expensiveness is based on the value/return of whatever you are buying.
