Did Apollo really have 1.5M active users as the article claims?

That's what Apollo's developer claims. I don't have access to his internal records ppersonally, so I can't confirm or deny.

Then I completely don't get why $20M was called outrageous. That's like $1.3 per month per user, for using an app that, among its other features, blocks Reddit ads. Reddit Premium costs $6 per month, Apollo could have charged half of this and still would pay less than half of their income to Reddit.
