Not to mention that many of these reddit articles say that the reason for the blackout is that reddit was simply going to put the API behind a paywall, not mentioning the insane rates they were going to charge. Most of the conversations I saw with 3rd party app developers were that they understood the need to charge for the API, the problem was that they wanted to charge an insane amount with very little notice. Kind of makes the protestors seem unreasonable or out of touch
