It seems you are conflating my displeasure with the Plex Subreddit being unavailable with what my feelings are for the Reddit API situation.
I agree that the Reddit’s actions were a hostile act against a multitude of developers and businesses. The sheer insanity of the Apollo situation is clear on that. Asking someone who has paid you nothing to somehow come up with $20 Million dollars annually is Ludacris. Also see this: (5)
I want to debunk Reddit’s claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support : apolloapp
Specifically:
Why can’t you just charge $5 a month or something?
This is a really easy one: Reddit’s prices are too high to permit this.
It may not surprise you to know, but users who are willing to pay for a service typically use it more. Apollo’s existing subscription users use on average 473 requests per day. This is more than an average free user (240) because, unsurprisingly, they use the app more. Under Reddit’s API pricing, those users would cost $3.52 monthly. You take out Apple’s cut of the $5, and some fees of my own to keep Apollo running, and you’re literally losing money every month.
And that’s your average user, a large subset of those, around 20%, use between 1,000 and 2,000 requests per day, which would cost $7.50 and $15.00 per month each in fees alone, which I have a hard time believing anyone is going to want to pay.
I’m far from the only one seeing this, the Relay for Reddit developer, initially somewhat hopeful of being able to make a subscription work, ran the same calculations and found similar results to me.
By my count that is literally every single one of the most popular third-party apps having concluded this pricing is untenable.
And remember, from some basic calculations of Reddit’s own disclosed numbers, Reddit appears to make on average approximately $0.12 per user per month, so you can see how charging developers $3.52 (or 29x higher) per user is not “based in reality” as they previously promised. That’s why this pricing is unreasonable.
While I would certainly understand that Reddit wanted to monetize access to the API, the ask of a $20,000,0000 ransom is clear that they intend to make drastic changes to their platform and have no interest in keeping things how they were.
But alas, my opinion on the two matters are not mutually exclusive. That is the root of our disagreement here. Boycotting continued new posts or conversations is simply not the same thing as deliberately hiding historical information. THAT action hurts little old people like us far more than it hurts Reddit, and I personally find that just as distasteful as you seem to think the Reddit situation is.

Reddit being wrong and the situation with the Plex Subreddit being wrong can both be true statements.
Also FWIW, you can still access the Apollo subreddit. If even those hardest hit by this situation don’t want to hide their subreddit, why does Plex?
Interesting side note. That Subreddit is controlled by it’s developer 
PPS, you reminded me to buy an Apollo shirt. Best of luck to that guy.
