[CORRECTION] 7742 went dark out of the 8299 that committed. Interesting to note: 204 of the top 250 subreddits are dark (src: save3rdpartyapps.com). (reddark.untone.uk)

As of 12:56pm GMT (7:56am central time), 7742/8299 subreddits are no longer public

The information I initially posted is misleading. Thus, I have edited the title and this content area to report accurate numbers.

As @roofuskit mentioned, the 8299 number is the amount of subreddits that committed to going dark, not the total number of subreddits, which is over 3,000,000.

And as @8thiest was keen to observe, 204 of the top 250 are dark, as you can see from this site: https://save3rdpartyapps.com/

This is amazing! I hope they stay private for good or until the API change is reversed. I believe /r/guildwars2 had said they wouldn't come back without 3rd party app access.

I am disappointed in the big subs that wouldn't go dark: askreddit, comics, news and worldnews

I can understand worldnews for example, some people will see important news there and that goal is bigger than protesting a bad decision at Reddit.

It's a link aggregator, people will see more relevant news by going to their local media outlets website, I don't see this as a valid reason not to go dark.
