TL;DR

Over 6,000 subreddits, including popular ones like r/funny and r/gaming, have gone private to protest Reddit's upcoming API pricing changes, which have caused third-party app developers to shut down their apps. Some subreddits are going private for 48 hours, while others plan to stay private until changes are made. Some subreddits are restricting new posts, while others are allowing only posts about the API changes. Developers and moderators are hoping Reddit will listen to their concerns and make concrete promises to give developers more time.
