So the non-commercial thing means that the dev can't show ads and add donations to his app? That's really scummy, they would have to work on the app without any contribution, maybe people could support him elsewhere but idk.
From what I understand, even paid use of the API prohibits 3rd party ads under the new terms. So that $20M/year they wanted to charge Apollo? Yeah it also meant /u/iamthatis couldn't serve ads on top of that.
Yeah, it will become unsustainable for the 3rd party devs, that's why many of those apps will shutdown, Reddit will got what they want in the end, no more 3rd party apps, or really gimped ones.
