[Reddit may force Apollo and third-party clients to shut down, asking for $20M per year API fee](https://9to5mac.com/2023/05/31/reddit-may-force-apollo-and-third-party-clients-to-shut-down/)
TL;DR: No more 3rd party apps to browse Reddit. Users will be forced to use official Reddit app which has less features, is slower, is overall a shittier experience.
Personally for me, will make moderating impossible on mobile.
Is this something the community wants to participate in?

Yes go dark
No
I don’t use 3rd party apps but I’ll stand in solidarity with those against the changes.
Go dark
Might as well, everyone else is so I probably wont be on Reddit those days anyway
I mean we’ll be playing the Braves anyways so I think I can live without seeing all the doomer takes.
Go dark
Nah. It will only work if we boycott it completely rather than just one day.
Sure. Work productivity is going to skyrocket.
Go dark.
But then how will I know everyone’s thoughts on Joey Wentz?
No, I don’t really care.
I’m taking the Towelie approach and say that I have no idea what’s going on.
