Reddit mods caving the second their status as mods is threatened is an absolute embarrassment. Not only do the prove spez right, they also reenforce the notion that Reddit without 3rd party apps is something they can live with - proving the blackouts were unnecessary and just an emotional reaction. What a joke!
Resistance from an inferior negotiating position is difficult.

If you feel strongly enough about the API situation to block your sub from MILLIONS of people, you are drawing a line in the sand. Any person with a spine or conviction would go down with a fight. It doesn’t matter how futile. MAKE Reddit take action and deal with the consequences of their own actions.
