Reddit is dead, long live reddit? /s
People are right, Reddit will live on as a shell of its former self. In time, people will forget that this happened and the API change and loss of third party apps that didn't want to pay those high fees will also be forgotten by those on Reddit.

I enjoyed reading that song, but I can't help but be bothered that the author kept adding an extra line.
The verses are sets of three lines, eventually followed by"The day the music died." All of the verses have four lines, and it's freakin me out, man.
"The day the music died" line comes right before the chorus, not after it. These parody lyrics look alright to me.
These lines all don't fit into the song.
Each verse goes 3 lines, 3 lines, 4 lines, 3 lines, The Day the Music Died. For example:
"Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Now do you believe in Rock and Roll
Can music save your mortal soul
Can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
