Thousands of subreddits chose to go dark in an ongoing protest over the company's plan to start charging certain third-party developers to access the site’s data.
Wow. Front page of huffpost.com right now. Interesting…
When I first started using reddit over a decade ago it was pretty great. I didn’t really stop to think what would happen if reddit started to act more like a corporation because I was having too much fun.
Now that time has come, and it’s time to move on to a more free (as in freedom) and open system. It’s immoral that all those years worth of human interaction (the howto’s, cat videos, porn, niche topics etc) is “owned” by a corporation.
