Narwhal made a small amount of profit before, thanks to a small ad at the bottom of the app. Narwhal 2 "barely" makes a small profit, too. However, most of the money from Narwhal 2's subscription fees goes to either Apple or Reddit.

This makes me irrationally angry. The dude was making something people wanted to use, without getting much of anything from it, and now the men upstairs have decided they're not happy with that situation unless they can force him to squeeze his users for a little bit, so that they can keep it, and leave him still with pretty much nothing.
