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 don't expect them to. The amount users (mods excluded) using third-party apps is quite small I think, so they'll just take the loss (if any).
