"Subreddit Blackout Sparks Reddit Protest"

More than 300 subreddits, including popular ones like r/aww, r/music r/videos, and r/futurology, plan to go dark indefinitely after a large protest against Reddit’s API changes ends on June 14. This means users won’t be able to access these communities during this blackout. The blackout was announced after an internal memo by Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, who backed the new API pricing and even took jabs at third-party apps. Reddit is reportedly planning to go public this year and has laid off 5% of its staff to cut costs.
