Why are Subreddits temporarily shut down? : All you need to know about Reddit blackout

India TV News  

Over 6,000 subreddits have gone dark in protest following Reddit's upcoming changes to its application programming interface pricing. According to TheVerge, the protest involves many subreddits going private for 48 hours from June 12 to June 14, while some intend to remain private until the desired changes are implemented. Christian Selig, the developer of the Apollo app, initially brought attention to the API pricing changes and expressed his awe at the unity displayed by the Reddit community in response. In the session, Huffman continued his accusations against Selig's "behavior and communications" as being "all over the place" and saying he couldn't see Reddit working with the developer further, TechCrunch reported.
