Is it justified to bump up the api pricing? What will be the outcome? Did it have an inpact on you?

Reddit acts horrible right now. First they basically destroy third-party apps instead of making their own app better, then they threaten and replace moderators on their subs and just do whatever they want.

If Reddit were a country it would be a dictatorship with an idiot as its leader.

Personally I support the protest by just not visiting Reddit anymore, request my data and hopefully delete my account there.

In the end a lot of users will not care but I hope they are the ones that do not contribute to Reddit and just consume which would lead to a slow death for Reddit. And in the short term there hopefully is enough chaos and bad decisions to reach the press and hurt Reddit that way.

Many big companies learned, that it is very hard to go against the masses of users, but Reddit wants to find out themself.

Reddit was once a great platform, but suffered from capitalism and greed. It will stick around for a long time, but time will tell how invested users are in the future.
