Unfortunate, but it was pretty obvious this would happen. The blackouts lasting only 48 hours was a mistake anyways. The only way I see them changing course is if enough people:

1. Delete the official app

2. Stop buying reddit awards, subscriptions, etc.

3. Mass delete their comments (Ideally after backing them up so that they can restore them later)

4. Stop visiting reddit all together

From reddit, this could easily be solved by offering "Reddit Pro", where you pay X per month, get perks and gives you an API key that you can use in any third app you like. Everyone is happy.
