RemindMe bot is no longer functional following the API pricing change, and many Redditors are still unaware of this fact.

I thought bots were exempt from paying?

I think only mod specific bots were immune. As idiotic as Reddit has been, it might still be running, but, how will it remind those of us that erased all comments and then deleted our accounts? I have a feeling that wasn't an official bot, so it was probably programed correctly so it won't spam them with replys to deleted accounts 😢

I looked it up now, and it does sound like Reddit made an exception for the reminder bot according to the bot's dev: https://www.reddit.com/r/RemindMeBot/comments/13yo8ay/will_the_reddit_api_change_kill_remindmebot/

Which means it couldn't have been made now

This whole thing is really fucking stupid

maybe remindme bot should pass through all API calls to Apollo and solve this whole moronic escape room detonation

You already escaped by being here. Why try to find a workaround to go back?

Solid work, and solid username. I'm feeling better about the fediverse every day.
