TL;DR

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has told employees that the ongoing blackout of thousands of subreddits will eventually pass, and that the company anticipates that many of the subreddits will come back online by Wednesday. Huffman also warned employees about wearing Reddit items in public, saying the anger directed at the API pricing changes could make them “the object of [users’] frustrations.” More than 8,000 Reddit communities have gone dark in protest of the company’s increased API pricing for third-party apps.
