Third-party Reddit app Apollo will shut down on June 30th
, Selig accused the company of slandering him during calls with some of the site's moderators following an alleged misunderstanding. He claimed to have told Reddit that, if a high volume of API calls from Apollo was costing the company a significant amount of money ,"I suggested you cut a check to me to end Apollo. I said I'd even do it for half that or six months worth: $10 million.
Selig said Reddit representatives apologized for misunderstanding his remarks as a threat of some kind. Even so, he claimed CEO Steve Huffman told moderators that"Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million ... This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us."Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
