Reddit has proposed a very high API cost per user access for Third party Reddit clients and tools.

Apollo and other clients would have to pay millions to Reddit and would not be able to run their own ads on the client,

Many subreddits have decided to do a blackout in protest, and some have shut down completely.

Will Reddit cancel or substantially reduce the planned API pricing by the end of 2023?

If there is a API price reduction, I will discuss with chat how to resolve this.

If they delay the new API pricing past the end of the year, but still plan to implement the new pricing, I will resolve this market to no at the end of the year.

Yes, it resolves right away if Reddit makes an announcement. If they cancel the new api pricing entirely I’ll resolve it to yes. If it’s some kind of reduction in the API pricing, I’ll discuss with Chet, and try to find a consensus.

@AnthonyPeterson what if they refuse to change but then a week later they delay it and then a week later they scrap the plan and say they'll revisit again in a few months

predicted NO

I guess if they say we are delaying the API changes, I should extend the market to see what happens next? What do you think is the best option in that case?

@AnthonyPeterson if they delay roll out but also say they won't cancel or reduce the changes, it seems hard to resolve. That situation could go on for quite a while. So I was wondering about a close date

predicted NO

@StrayClimb I set close for September, I could do end of the year at the latest, and make the question "by the end of 2023."

Does this resolve immediately on announcement? Can it resolve no early?
