The developer of Apollo, one of the most popular third-party Reddit apps, announced Thursday that he is shutting the app down at the end of the month due to the astronomical charges Reddit is implementing that would make continuing the app financially untenable.

The move comes days before hundreds of subreddits are set to go dark to protest Reddit’s forthcoming changes to the way it charges for API access, and a week after Christian Selig, Apollo’s developer, said that keeping the app operational would cost him more than $20 million per year. On July 1, Reddit is set to begin charging developers for access to its API, which allows people like Selig to make third-party apps that people can use to browse, post on, and moderate Reddit without using the official app or desktop site.
