It was in the 500-600 range a few hours ago. It’s really happening
My hot take: Going dark won't change anything, but it's still a nice middle finger.
Following June 30 is when reddit will really change, when mods and influential users leave the site due to losing support for 3PA
Reddit will continue to be propped up like Weekend At Bernie's after that, much like the sites of the past like Digg and MySpace
Reddit will gradually lose all cred and will be considered just as sketchy as any other social media
In the /r/apollodev post there is a section with all the info of the latest call they had before shit hit the fan.
In that, Reddit said that "[Reddit] is open to discussion, if moderators promise to keep subreddits open", so personally, I don't think it won't change anything.
As for what, we have yet to see.
Just like theyre "now working with the devs" to pay for the API after ignoring them for 3 months? I'll believe it when i see it, those liars don't get to say one thing and do the opposite
