Reddit Protests Continue as Popular Subreddits Extend API Blackout Indefinitely.
TL;DR Summary
Moderators from popular subreddits, including r/awww, r/music, r/videos, r/futurology, r/apple, and r/NBA, have announced an indefinite protest against Reddit's API changes, which have hiked prices to astronomical levels ahead of its planned IPO, killing all third-party Reddit clients. The move has left Reddit's own app as users' only option, which is widely regarded as poor quality and difficult to use for moderation. Volunteer mods responded to the proposed extension with enthusiasm, with some suggesting more drastic measures.
