![]() Nearly 9,000 subreddits went dark this week and more than 4,000 remained dark on Friday, including communities with tens of millions of subscribers like r/music and r/videos - according to a tracker of the boycott. Subreddit "mods" often use tools outside of the official app to keep their forums free of spam and hateful content, for example, as well as improve accessibility. Organizers of the blackout, which began Monday, say Reddit's changes threaten to end key ways of historically customizing the platform - which relies heavily on the work of volunteer moderators. The new fees are part of broader changes to Reddit's API, or application programming interface, that the company announced recently. "Reddit is killing third-party applications (and itself)," multiple subreddits wrote in posts seen on the platform's homepage this week.
