TL;DR

Close to 3,500 subreddit forums plan a 48-hour blackout from Monday to protest Reddit's new pricing policy that charges third-party apps for using its API. Many third-party apps have said they will be closing down because of the charges. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman announced the changes in April, sparking a backlash from community moderators. The pricing policy will take effect from July 1.
