As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those subreddits that it has plans to replace resistant moderation teams to keep spaces "open and accessible to users."

Edit, there seems to be conflicting reporting on this issue:

While the company does “respect the community’s right to protest” and pledges that it won’t force communities to reopen, Reddit also suggests there’s no need for that.

Also "97% of users doesn't use a 3rd party app" but also "the opportunity cost" is very high. Which one is it?

    They're probably just upset that /all is a graveyard of "Reddit is killing third party apps". That's gotta look embarrassing for them

    I'm pretty happy with how many subreddits are continuing to go dark, or the ones who are actively helping their users transition to other platforms.
