I thought all apps were broken on July 1st?

I’m pretty sure Infinity is one of the few to move to a subscription model, so it’s still up.

It’s crazy to me that Infinity and Relay think they can get by on subscriptions, when the only people who use it enough to pay a subscription, use it more, making it exponentially more expensive as it’s based on usage.

And let’s be real, if they’re getting ready to ban NSFW content on the apps anyway, nobody is going to keep paying for that.

Yeah the subscription is going to have to be so expensive and almost all that money went would think would go to Reddit.

The Relay developer has acknowledged this and has been tracking the number of users API calls, looking at the 90th, 95th, 99th percentiles as he expects these to be the users who pay a subscription. To me it seems like he’s done enough research to come up with an accurate price.

I’ve been a Relay Pro user for years and loved it, but I just don’t use Reddit enough to justify another subscription. I was okay with a 1 off payment (especially as it was just a couple of quid, although I would’ve been okay with way more), but I just can’t justify a subscription to Reddit for the value I get out of it.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere Infinity struck a deal with Reddit whereby Infinity will move to a subscription model some time in July. The downside is a new version of Infinity will be released and all previous versions will no longer work.

Just wondering if Reddit are getting a cut of the sub and that’s how Infinity managed to stay in the game.

You should be wondering if the developers get a cut from the subscriptions. Reddit bills them per usage, so they will definitely lose money on the very active users.

I’d think it would be down the throat, unless they’re doing a handstand of course.

That was my first thought, but I was also able to open up porn in the RiF app, which Reddit claimed was not going to be possible as a result of their server-side changes.

Infinity is going subscription-only in a coming update. The dev is just eating the costs until then.

That’s it.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

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 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
