I have real sympathy for the developer of Apollo; at the same time it was such a huge and obvious risk to stake your entire business on the whims of another that I find it difficult to be 100% sympathetic.
It's like, I know this funded company that's doing a lot of work using intel SGX, if intel kill it, about 80 people lose the jobs and several million in VC goes up in smoke. It's insane to me that people are building businesses that can be killed by 3rd parties that they have no hope of influencing, and have no contracts with.
Another chapter of the internet drama concludes, I suppose. I wish them all the best and I'll be curious to see if reddit survives.
