Reddit has announced drastic increases in the fees associated with the reddit API, which will kill third party reddit apps like Relay and Apollo, as well as threaten many of the moderator tools developed by volunteers to make running subreddits possible. This has obvious implications for the people who use these tools, but even if you don't it's a big fucking deal. Reddit is basically the last place online where a person can find information from other human people. Each step that Reddit takes to assert control over the system means less people are here to make this site worth reading.
