Hopefully the users of these subs provide enough backlash for this that it doesn’t work out in Reddit’s favor. If not, they’re just incentivized to keep doing it. Only way to prevent it is if we as users make it less profitable for them to do this than it is to let the protest continue or reverse the API decision.
Or we just leave and take our content elsewhere. In the end reddit itself doesn’t generate any content. It’s all user created. We just have to leave.
