Yeah was browsing Apollo when it dropped out. I knew it was coming but still disappointing.

Yeah apparently Reddit pulled the plug early and with no warning to Christian. Seems like they’re really determined to be a full bag of dicks to the end

Such a strange position for them to take, that of cartoon villains

Don't think they told anyone about doing it early yesterday. They had been saying July 1st the whole time then BaconReader went down along with RIF, Apollo, etc yesterday June 30th. One last fuck you to all the devs that actually helped grow that site.

They pulled the plug at exactly 00:00 UTC. Didn't give a shit about timezones. Or their home turf of NA to be into July 1st. They did it as soon as any point on Earth was in July 1st.

Just a big ole middle finger to the users who wanted their last night

That’s so cartoonishly gross. What on earth is wrong with them?

Entitlement, gross fatty entitlement.
