Interestingly, Narwhal remained open ahead of Narwhal 2's release without users having to pay anything. I asked Harrison in June how that was possible, but he said he couldn't explain due to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Reddit. I asked again for this story, and Harrison said he couldn't provide full details but noted, "Reddit was willing to work with me so that I could transition the app to subscriptions in a reasonable timeframe, especially considering it's not my full-time job."

That is interesting given all the shit Spez gave Christian about just this issue with respect to Apollo.

Same with RIF and hell half the other apps. Dude straight up didn't want to work with anyone.

I believe part of the difference between the two apps is Apollo had yearly subscriptions users which Reddit didn’t seem to want to accommodate for, so he would have been on the hook paying for those users. While Narwhal just had a ad unlock making it easier to move to version 2 with a subscription.

The Apollo dev also posted his dissent.

I still blame Reddit.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
