Several popular third-party Reddit apps have shut down following the implementation of new API rules by Reddit, Engadget reports.
Reddit recently made the decision to charge for API access to monetize the data used for training large language models for generative AI.
The changes in the API rules have led to the shutdown of apps like Apollo, BaconReader, and Sync for Reddit.
Some remaining apps, like Relay for Reddit and Now for Reddit, are transitioning to a subscription model to cover the cost of API access.
