Reddit's Blackout Protest Ends Amid Tensions and Threats.

TL;DR Summary
Many of Reddit's communities have reopened after a protest against the company's planned changes to charge for access to its API. However, tensions remain high as some subreddits with millions of followers are still restricted or private. Reddit CEO Steve Huffman has said the company will allow users to vote out the subreddit moderators who are leading the protests. Many moderators have protested the changes, which they view as an attempt to maximize profits while hurting the site's user experience. Third-party Reddit apps, which are typically ad-free and offer accessibility tools, may be affected by the changes.
