Or, you could do what I do - use [https://old.reddit.com](Old Reddit) with an ad blocker. That hurts them on two levels -

  1. They have to pay for you to use the site and,
  2. Their ads are blocked.

Could also keep using 3rd party apps, apparently all those API calls are costing them millions.

Only the accessibility focused apps will be allowed by Reddit to continue free of cost. The other 3rd party apps will shutdown at the end of this month since their API costs will be too much for them to bear.

Only the accessibility focused apps will be allowed by Reddit to continue as long as they aren't monetized. Sure, if you want to allow blind people to read Reddit because we can't figure out how to do it, go nuts. But only as long as you don't expect anything for your time and effort.
