Someone should invest in Apollo, build a reddit clone and just let the app run on that. Screw the “actual” reddit.

The Apollo app has a huge install base anyway. Problem is only, how long will this all take?

A lot of time, money, and effort. It is fairly infeasible.

And even if you build it, it will start out empty.

Yes, get some limited funding to build out the infrastructure. We can build a platform that is better for the users and that will get them all to come. We will make it modern and very easy for third parties to help build on top of it this will increase value and uptake.

We will need to pay for servers and dev time so maybe we can allow our users to donate to upkeep. Maybe call it new service platinum. Unfortunately, most people don't pay so maybe we can have a limited number of non-intrusive ads on the site. Well now people with equity want some money back so we need to figure out how to make some more money. These third party apps aren't showing our ads, so lots of our power users use these third party apps and lots of companies are leveraging our service to make lots of money. The obvious answer is to get some money back from the api users. I shall call this site reddit.
