This isn’t a unilateral move by a small group of moderators. Regular users support the blackout in droves. We don’t like Reddit corporate deciding to shut down 3rd party developers.

Reddit is extremely entitled. They as a company create nothing. The users create everything and do all the work of moderation. Spitting in the eye of your all-volunteer staff on which you depend completely for your livelihood is corporate suicide.

Reddit was known for having lots of developers on it in the first place. It should be on some level unsurprising their users throw a fit over third party devs being thrown aside the moment they don’t help reddit’s IPO.
