I am filled with a sadness at losing Apollo but it will always amuse me that searching reddit showed the apollo app.
I feel that, except i was using Infinity app for reddit, it was a very good open source reddit client.
Apollo showing up is due to them using Reddit in their AppStore title which is indexed in Spotlight search
I have been a daily reddit user since 2008. I had never seen a single Apollo ad or any discussion of Apollo.
Your search results are biased towards what you have browsed on Google.
Also you shouldn’t be seeing ads with proper internet hygiene. Ublock origin, no script, vpn if you can. Res will strip out every reddit ad. And I’d highly recommend duck duck go or something more private than Google these days
No no rif was reddit now rif is dead.
