Again though - some money > no money. By literally shutting the app down it makes no money.
Ongoing development of sync is only a full time job because it paid so well with zero costs since Reddit handed the content and api to the dev for free. It’s definitely not an actual full time jobs worth of work.
I'm sure reddit has exactly zero engineers who work exclusively on the app every day. /s
From the way people that love Sync etc talk about the official reddit app they likely don't.
