TL;DR

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman defended the company's API changes in an AMA discussion, promising improvements to Reddit's own app but declining to make concessions on pricing and other issues that have rankled the community. Huffman acknowledged some missteps in the company's API rollout but largely declined to tackle thornier questions about the company's handling of its relationship with third-party developers. More than 3,000 subreddits have pledged to "go dark" for two days beginning June 12th to protest the changes.
