Seems DBrady got an exemption, Relay for Reddit will continue functioning for the time being, and will eventually move to a subscription model.

Probably not an exception right? The dev is probably just eating the costs until they implement the subscription.

Guess I'll be able to keep using it for a while, but I will never pay a subscription to use Reddit.

Narwhal got an exception, I can't imagine the dev is eating the cost in this case, so I'm assuming it's the same deal.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Hadn't read anything about an exceptions being made

That's because it's not public. We are just guessing.

Both devs haven't said why they are immediately removing ads from their apps.

It's just a guess that it's a condition of reddit giving them free api access for a few months.
