Reddit API Changes, Subreddit Blackout, and How It Affects You

https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/141lsip/reddit_api_changes_subreddit_blackout_and_how_it/

While it's not hardware news, it is something that is important imo. Many subreddits are protesting reddits upcoming changes to their policies and API. In Summary:

a) Reddit is not only requiring a fee for their API for third party app developers but they are quoting them $2 million per month which is insane
b) NSFW content will only be avaliable through the official reddit app/site and third party apps even if they pay the fees do not get access to it
c) Modders that rely on third party tools will be severely limited as to what they can do

Imo the default reddit app is complete ass and while I understand they trying to make money since it's their site, the amount their asking is obviously meant to completely shutdown other apps since I highly doubt any of the third party apps get anywhere close to 2 million in revenue. So it is designed to simply force people to use their horrid app. So in protest, you may see tons of reddits shutting down temporarily. Hopefully reddit reverses their decision.

I have been seeing this being an on going issue in the AMD subreddit. Not sure why it doesn't happen with Nvidia drivers tho but Radeon team needs to communicate with Microsoft so this doesn't happen.
