A widespread strike on Reddit has commenced, with numerous subreddits opting to go dark or restrict access starting from June 12th. This protest comes in response to new pricing policies imposed by the platform for third-party app developers seeking access to Reddit’s APIs. As part of the demonstration, major communities such as r/videos, r/reactiongifs, r/earthporn, and r/lifeprotips are planning to set themselves to private, rendering them inaccessible to the general public for a planned 48-hour period.
