I wasn't expecting it to work, but I didn't uninstall the app just in case Reddit backtracks or something. I checked and my front-page loads like normal. Does that mean that Reddit gave up? I didn't pay infinity at all...

I think the developer is temporarily funding use of Reddit's API until he gets the update ready for the subscription only version of the app. Not sure how long that will take.

Any idea how the subscription version is going to work? The API probably requires a shared secret or something. Infinity is an open source app. Are they just going to commit the secret to the repo? If they do, how are they going to prevent just anyone from using Infinity without subscribing? Or maybe they'll make future versions Infinity proprietary?
