"Reddit in Turmoil: Revolts, Drama, and Blackouts"
TL;DR
Hundreds of subreddits are going dark and thousands more are planning to follow in protest of API changes that will force many third-party apps to shut down. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman's responses to the community's frustration have been met with anger and accusations of lying. The protest will end when Reddit addresses issues with the API, accessibility for blind people, and parity in access to NSFW content. Over 4,500 communities are pledging to go dark, with over 200 already having done so.
