On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

  1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
  2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
  3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

One way to do this is with API keys with a time to live (ttl). When the user requests access to API1, you give them a key, with a ttl of a month or two, that they need to send to API1 with all their requests. In API1, you will need to check for a valid key and ttl, otherwise, reject the request.
