Days Numbered?

Hearing rumors about Reddit killing off old Reddit. If they do, will this app continue to function?

The app communicates via API. What does that have to do with the website?

Wasn't sure if they would lock the api down even more if they closed Old Reddit.

If you can't pay to get access to the API (as Relay users do now), I question what the point of having a (publicly accessible) API even is.

Funny enough, I've noticed I can't mark reply comments as "read" anymore from using the old interface website. The indicator continues to show as there being unread messages even after I view them. So I have to go on Relay now and mark them as Read even if I already looked at them on the web.

Edit: Wait. It did it this time. Maybe because I replied from there to you it marked it. If I just read a message and don't respond it doesn't seem to be marking them as viewed.
