Starting June 12, a significant number of subreddits are going private to protest the upcoming changes to Reddit's API, which will have a large effect on 3rd party apps. The updated API terms will go into effect on June 19th, per https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/ and API rate limits will change on July 1st, per https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api

This market will resolve YES if, before or on July 1st, Reddit changes any portion of the upcoming updates in response to the blackouts.

I’m letting this market’s time runout, so unless Reddit makes a last minute change, it’s looking like a solid NO.

My third party app (BaconReader) died a few minutes ago. Posts online suggest the API rate limit has gone into effect. 😭

predicted NO

@stevez Yup, RIF is dead too.

predicted YES

@evergreenemily Nice. No more being distracted: )

predicted NO

@stevez Here’s to hoping for a midnight hour change, as unrealistic as that seems.

predicted NO

@stevez boost for reddit is still working it appears?

Seems like Reddit is trying to force the protests to end instead of reversing the API changes, at least for now.

Does changing release dates count as a change?

@StrayClimb Yes that would count. Any change from what is the current plan will result in the market resolving as yes.
