Apollo can’t afford Reddit’s fees and will be subject to auto-refund for shutting down, so users can help by declining the refund.

        I just updated but there was no prompt for this, only the wallpaper prompt

        Update: I checked the Apollo sub and apparently many lifetime plan users don’t have the option to decline the refund. That’s a shame… Hope they fix it soon or I’ll just leave a tip tomorrow

    Reddit is going crazy because they are calling him a millionaire. I’m sorry, but making a million dollars over the past decade makes him paid less than a regular developer, and 1 million dollars can’t even buy you a crack shack in Canada.

    Remember, Canada is the most expensive place to live. We have the most expensive housing and internet/data plans in the entire world.

    Think logically. Don’t think like childish Redditors.

      [re-ordered slightly for coherence: c.f. the original post for the original order]

      Remember, Canada is the most expensive place to live.

      and 1 million dollars can’t even buy you a crack shack in Canada.

      Last I heard Winnipeg was part of Canada, and I’m seeing quite a lot of nice, sizable homes under a million dollars.

      Oh, you mean specific cities in Canada? That leads us to this then:

      No Canadian city made it into this top ten list.

      None made it into this top ten list either.

      We have the most expensive housing and internet/data plans in the entire world.

      OK, let’s look at internet plans.

      Oops. Not only does Canada have nowhere near the most expensive Internet access, it’s near the BOTTOM of costs relative to income worldwide!

      On the bright side, having Apollo on his resume should make landing a good dev job (assuming he didn’t have one already) pretty easy.

      He still shouldn’t be on the hook for $250k though.
