Exactly as the title says, do you guys think Reddit will buckle and at least be more reasonable or maybe even reverse their current decisions?

    They might not care about the 3rd party apps themselves, but having massive functioning communities would be near impossible using only the official moderating tools. The quality of the website is going to diminish a lot. A lot of niche communities have only a handful of spare time moderators that benefit greatly from the 3rd party api. It’s not possible to say the exact scope of problems until the day comes, but by most accounts it’s going to be a massive hit.

      Even still, people will hold on and reminisce of the good old days for another 10 years. The impact will be notable, but you can’t save them all.
