That money is pennies to reddit. Apollo was around long before the official app and established a majority mobile userbase which you could argue helped build reddit into what it is today. I guarantee you it 100% made reddit more money than it made the developer of the app. Reddit is the bad guy for slandering him and gaslighting their users at every turn, yes.

Reddit literally only makes money of other people’s content. They contribute absolutely nothing themselves.
Hypocritical much?
Weird taken given that it was a resource provided for people to use that benefited Reddit to offer.
Are shipping companies leeches in your worldview?
Those 3rd party apps are leeches that are playing surprised_pikachu.jpeg when the blood supply is cut.
The simple fact that this guy has to reimburse 250K of subscriptions shows the insane amount of money he made off of the back of Reddit.
