Despite Reddit’s recent protest over its API pricing policy, the platform has returned to normal. However, there is still a disturbance brewing underneath the current stability. According to a moderator named Bucky, who goes by the online name of BuckRowdy, the protests have evolved into venting sessions for general frustrations about Reddit. The subreddit, Save3rdPartyApps, formed to encourage protests against the API that were in line with Reddit’s rules, still remains active, indicating the simmering rage that persists. The platform previously offered its API for free, but recent changes to its API pricing policy have been met with protests that have continued. Reddit aims to make these changes to help bolster its finances ahead of the public offering later this year. As Reddit CEO Steve Huffman stated in a post earlier this month, the platform needs to become a self-sustaining business and can no longer subsidize commercial entities that require large-scale data use. However, given the ongoing protests, it remains to be seen how successful the API changes will be.
