The /r/videos mods are going all out and someone made this lovely graphic to explain why subs are going dark next week. While I’d love to have my users on Lemmy, I also hope that this actually does something for Reddit and they reverse course on their planed changes.

I'm not putting it past reddit to suddenly backpedal and/or lower the API charges significantly then say they listen to their users/communities. And then slowly push 3rd party apps away. The damage has been done for me.

I am skeptical. The pricing on the API wasn’t merely unrealistically optimistic, it was “eleventy morbillion dollars” high. People only negotiate on numbers when they actually want to be paid. Reddit doesn’t want to be paid, it wants the apps to die.
