Some users wonder if the dev will be charged for having it still up, others argue Reddit can't charge him without having signed a contract. Everyone is confused as to why the API change hasn't made it inoperable.

Why is Boost still working?

The thing is that it really is no longer about 3rd party apps working or not, rather, the level of disrespect displayed from Reddit towards us, their userbase. That's why I'm not going back.

Exactly. Relay user here and it'll continue to function but...

Fuck spez
I don't care to support reddit anymore
Reddit's content for my feed is already turning to garbage. I'm already finding kbin and lemmy better.

Good riddins.

Exactly this. There is now actual conversarion and I'm finding interesting content again.

Nr. 3 is the main point. I prefer less content if it's not reposts, ragebait and bots

I was a RedReader user for quite a while (as in years). While being a bit spartan, I found it to be the best Reddit app for my preferences. Period.

But indeed, nowadays, there is actual (great) content on Lemmy and Kbin, and I am willing to get to it. Not much time left for Reddit. Sorry, spez, fuck you!
