    The APIs go dark on July 1. Those are the traffic numbers I’m waiting to see. The protest/Blackout was a warning shot: July 1 will see the real exodus.

      Yeah, I’m still occasionally using Reddit, but once the third-party app I use stops working, I’m done.

      Will just login once on my PC to purge, and delete my account.

        Most of my reddit browsing is on my phone during downtime. When they kill 3rd party apps and I have to deal with ads and a subpar user experience I’m out.
        I cannot comprehend all the anti-protest people on reddit who are actively cheering on the death of 3rd party apps, like they actually WANT to see ads. I imagine many of these people are hypocrites and are using adblock on their desktops anyway.
