Changes to Reddit’s API—which includes new fees for third-party app developers—have been met with pushback from thousands of subreddits, many of which are undergoing blackouts that will last until Wednesday.

    Lets hope the mega subreddits stay dark until the changes happen. I would love to see this community grow!

      Yes, spez is counting on us coming back after the 48 hours. We need communities to extend the blackout indefinitely to have any real effect.

        Oh, I’ll be coming back. Under old.reddit, with adblockers, to subs that didn’t blackout, and my comments aren’t going to be exactly… productive. May as well rack up a few bans before deleting the account.

            I’m sorry

            :-D Don’t be, I’m glad you got the information out for everyone here without giving too much traffic to reddit. Thank you for your answer.

            Viewing on old.reddit, blocking ads, blocking trackers, etc, isn’t totally against the spirit of what’s going on.
