It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759559/reddit-internal-memo-api-pricing-changes-steve-huffman

No one is asking Reddit for the moon and the stars, just to listen to small changes.

Even Twitch, which made horrendous moves this month, recognized that the community is what gives their company any value at all, and responded in some capacity to make their users feel heard.

@christianselig I’m really impressed with how your community has rallied to you. You work clearly has made a big difference.

@sanguish @christianselig I think this goes beyond Apolo. There are lots of 3rd party apps in the same situation. But the huge user base of Apolo certainly helped move a critical mass in this 'protest'
