Try Snyk šŸ’»: http://snyk.co/lewis The Reddit Blackout of 2023 will go down in internet history as one of the largest online protests ever. Outraged redditors coordinated a blackout, with moderators making popular subreddits private in protest, resulting in Reddit being a ghost town. Why? This business decision by Reddit caused developers to pay over $20,000,000 to get access to their developer APIs which they relied on for access to create valuable Reddit clients, bots, and tools. In this video, we’ll break down how the Reddit blackout unfolded and why it represents a critical moment for the platform. What exactly is an API, and what makes Reddit's so important? How did the blackout force Reddit to come back for developers? We’ll also discuss the broader implications - does this limit Reddit’s ability to monetize? What does it mean for the future of third-party developers? The Reddit blackout showed the power of an engaged userbase. When the community revolted, Reddit had to listen but at what cost? This dramatic saga provides key insights into online communities, APIs, and protest in the internet age.
