    I just feel bad for the developer. Years spent developing an app for it to be worthless. That has got to be deflating.

      Depends how you define ‘worthless’. In the case of Apollo, it certainly wasn’t financially worthless for him. And just to be clear, I have no issue with a quality app developer making money doing what they do.

        I mean, actual take-home-pay aside from running Apollo, I have no doubt that Christian will be head-hunted like all hell from so many tech companies. I bet his future is solid gold after this. =)

          I still feel bad for them. They created SO MUCH value for reddit, only to be kicked in the teeth.
