Thousands of popular subreddits shut down as a form of protest against a new policy by Reddit. The company will begin charging to access its API, hampering third-party apps, the apps say.

WEDDING DRESS INSULT: WOMAN ASKS REDDIT USERS TO WEIGH IN AFTER SHE BLUNTLY CRITIQUED HER FRIEND'S GOWNSome subreddits went completely private, meaning that only a select few users were able to see content; or, they moved to"restricted," meaning that previous posts could be seen, but no new ones could be made.

Thousands of subreddits, or topic-specific communities on Reddit, restricted access to users in protest against a new policy. "This isn't only a problem on the user level: Many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free," the message read. APIs"are regarded as the foundation of the contemporary web. Simply said, they enable the exchange of information between two apps, enabling the creation of additional features and capabilities," as the website Dataconomy described.

"We know those we speak with listen and care deeply. We know they advocate for us and pass our feedback on. We also see, through the actions of the company, that this feedback is not always acted upon. The key decision makers don't seem to be getting it. We are not satisfied with the hand-waving and unspecific answers."

In a June 9"Ask Me Anything" post, Huffman stated,"We respect when you and your communities take action to highlight the things you need, including, at times, going private. We are all responsible for ensuring Reddit provides an open accessible place for people to find community and belonging."
