Reddit blackout continues indefinitely, causing ripple effects across the internet.

TL;DR Summary
Reddit's volunteer moderators have continued their two-day protest indefinitely, keeping more than 5,000 popular subreddits in private mode, unless the website's owners back down over new user fees. Reddit announced in April that it would start charging third parties for its application programming interface (API), which has led to popular apps such as Apollo and RIF shutting down. The moderators claim that the new charges threaten to end key ways of historically customising the platform, and that admins at the company have been removing moderators who are supporting the protest in order to force the subreddits back online.
