The API changes rolled out recently. I guess op is referring to that.
If it's just that, it means I'm up to date with spez bullshit. I was afraid I missed the nail in the coffin... ><
The only thing you missed is that the devs actually couldn't keep their own deadline for the api change so until now the 3rd party apps still worked.
Actually people can custom patch the apps with their own api key and they still work. This is how I stay up to date with these news.
Atmosphere on Reddit became quite bizarre nowadays. Users are angry against the mods who kept the subs restricted/private instead of the company itself. The stupidity is insane.
Many of those people don't really care because they don't think it will affect them or don't really understand what that whole thing means. All they care about is being able to scroll.
There was a poll about the future with the protest of a Subreddit I am part of and many voted for staying open with the reasoning "it hurts the community".
While I would agree with the Argument that being private on a tech-oriented Subreddit is bad because all of the accumulated knowledge will be inaccessible so troubleshooting will not work or be as good. But then you could just be restricted and have both, keeping the protest going but not locking out help to common troubleshooting.
All they see now is that they are inconvenienced by the whole thing and they don't like it without understanding that many others will have a much worse impact and the future state of the Subreddits could be much worse or take longer to moderate impacting everyone.
But this is not something they can see or understand.
