What makes you think people who use Apollo don't want to pay for things? I literally pay for Apollo

Also all iOS users, who are more valuable, and probably harder to use bots/easier to permaban (compared to Android or web). On the other side, Apple will kill your app, maybe without warning, if you don't moderate strongly enough for their liking.

Because most people don’t want to pay for things they can get for “free” — look at literally every thread on HN about ads or every paywalled article here w/ an “archive” link. They’ll twist themselves into knots justifying to themselves that they’re entitled to something for nothing.

Just because you pay for Apollo (I pay for it as well) isn’t evidence that most of the Apollo user base is ready to open their wallets to the point of starting Reddit 2.0.

I'm sorry, but in the case of ads this is a two way street. Ad companies have made it impossible to revoke consent for them to collect my data so ad blocking is the last refuge I have left. What entitles marketers to ignore the DNT flag and continue collecting info about me?
