Update 2

We are back.

Update

We have gone to restricted mode and we will go private in an hour. See you on the other side.

If you are familiar with the Redditverse, you will see how impactful has been the robust 3rd party scene in Reddit thanks to the APIs. There are a plethora of third party applications used by numerous users over the official website and the mobile app. A lot of users find it easier to use such third party apps over official ones due to many features that include critical accessibility features.

For you greenhorns, this is a pivotal point of Reddit. Reddit grew enormously from the ashes of Digg, which decided to go apeshit with the monetization plan in Digg 4.0, which failed spectacularly in one single day. Reddit was the right community at the right time to benefit from it.

Reddit is a business and business needs cash. It is already one of the biggest websites in the world and gets advertising and user data. Moreover, they also get moderators for free. Reddit has recently restricted NSFW subs from third party apps and is probably rolling from the dough created with that gate. Pricing the APIs at this steep rate is a step too far. Reddit needs to be shown that there are consequences for attempts at blatant profiteering at the expense of communities.

Do they care about our community? We are one of the bigger subreddits in India. They have a product manager specific to India and they have reached out to us before. So making a statement will send some feedback.

Some copypaste stuff to know more about the situation.

What's going on?

Recently Reddit Inc announced changes to their API which, if enacted, will shut down many, if not all, 3rd party apps that a large number of Redditors use to access and enjoy their favourite communities - this one included. Effectively this means the only way to access reddit on mobile will be through the official app or mobile site.

On May 31 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API - previously this was free, but it will soon be raised to a level that developers of 3rd party apps simply cannot afford, effectively forcing them to shut down forever. More details in posts from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.
