It feels like the Titanic is an irony magnet. It's like some cosmic force is still really salty that they called it an "unsinkable ship."
For example, some of the passengers on this missing submarine:
- The founder of the submarine company who complained about safety regulations, now lost and trapped in his unsafe vessel.
- The Guinness World Record holder for longest time spent traversing the deepest part of the ocean in a single dive will now likely be at the bottom of the ocean forever.
- The director of the company who owns the salvage rights to the Titanic, the company that has brought many artifacts to the surface, now likely leaves its director on the ocean floor with the wreckage.

I have auto update turned off for apps, so I didn't get the last update for Infinity and I can still use it to see Reddit, for now. Once it dies I'm out though. I can't imagine they will be able to get enough subscriptions to support the app, so I'm not really sure what the goal is here.
The Infinity listing in the Play store links to this post that has a bit more info (warning: Reddit link) https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinity_For_Reddit/comments/147bhsg/the_future_of_infinity/
Even the people subbed to r/Infinity_For_Reddit are saying they won't buy a subscription. Wouldn't Infinity be racking up a huge bill from Reddit once the API change goes into effect? There's no way subscriptions will cover that so I don't understand why they're doing this.
