Is this really accurate? I get the feeling that most people don't really care about stuff like this, and don't want to be inconvenienced by having to leave Reddit and move elsewhere -- although it is interesting that mods in particular are leaving. I wonder what kind of effect that'll have down the road.

That was a pretty well written piece. I'm skeptical reddit dies because of all this that said I was a daily user for 16 years and im 7 days "sober" now and my being here is a sign of sorts. I want the time line where Aaron is CEO.
For me the first two days were definitely the hardest. But that in itself was an eye opener.
I'm not planning on going back to Reddit, at least not in the capacity I had. I think I'll be here for my daily news/updates on interesting topics.
However, i so like episode discussions in series. So, until this community is big enough I'll probably search those single threads on Reddit.
@halo5 What I see many comment on Reddit on is that they don’t necessarily have an issue with 3rd party apps going away or the API becoming a paid feature. I can understand that although I am an Apollo user since day one, and to me Reddit is Apollo. The problem is though, none of those are the key issue here anymore. It’s not about Apollo or APIs any longer, it’s about poor leadership and corporate greed. This is what a big portion of the community there is not getting. Even if they reversed course tomorrow, I’d still be hard pressed to return or ever give even a cent to Reddit because now I loathe the company behind it.
100%. I don't have problems with them charging for their API, it's how they went about it. 30 days for such a massive change is outrageous.
Seeing all the recent posts here about people finding themselves subbed to places they unsubscribed from, as well as deleted comments coming back is what sold me to not return at all.
I haven't been back except for a few minutes on Wednesday. Most of my subs I was following were still dark. I had unsubbed from all that weren't participating in the protest (unless for good reason) and may go back to see if I was resubbed, but will not stay. Have also been wanting to use shreddit to delete everything, just haven't had the time.
Can confirm that I got resubbed to r/funny after removing it last week. Reddit is definitely tampering with its users now. Can't wait for the GDPR complaint if they decide to restore deleted comments pre-protest.
