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.

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.
Wait, Redditors are now bandwagoning on this slander too? I just figured it was a bullshit claim that u/spez made that the rest of the Reddit community saw through and weren’t buying.
If there actually is a large number of people actually believing this shit, then my already rock-bottom hope for Reddit has somehow plummeted further.
Every reddit thread about Apollo is filled with hate against Apollo and christian.
The message that’s being repeated is that he’s made millions of the poor backs of reddit and should be ashamed for taking advantage of the free api. Him asking to decline the refund is a scam/fraud to squeeze the last money he can from his poor users.
I would not be surprised to find out that the posts comes from bot farms or spez himself.
Dude, it’s the internet. People are dumb by default around here. (Me very well included.)
Millionaire absolutely doesn’t mean what it did 30-40 years ago, too. Billionaire is a bit excessively high and isn’t quite comparable to what millionaire used to be, and while of course most people have way less due to how the economy works, having a net worth of 1 million isn’t a huge hurdle these days. We need a word for 100-millionaire. I’m sure Selig is not a 100-millionaire.
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.
They will still ask him to invert a binary tree, just to be sure he can code

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.
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!
