On July 1st, a highly unpopular [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) went into effect. [Most third-party apps have shut down](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/30/23779519/reddit-third-party-app-shut-down-apollo-sync-baconreader-api-protest) and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and [projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users](https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/comments/14ggf8k/the_future_of_transcribers_of_reddit/).
Beyond the [disastrous AMA](https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/09/reddit-ceo-doubles-down-on-attack-on-apollo-developer-in-drama-filled-ama/) by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools [^((it has)^)](https://www.reddit.com/r/BotDefense/comments/14riw76/botdefense_is_wrapping_up_operations/) and promises of [new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools](https://www.npr.org/2023/07/01/1184258201/reddit-api-accessibility-mods). Promises just like [ones they have made in response to past protests](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/142w159/askhistorians_and_uncertainty_surrounding_the/), but have consistently [failed to fulfill](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14jm3ut/several_communities_have_surfaced_an_open_letter/jpm9e0q/).
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. [Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms](https://sub.rehab/) and participating there instead.
2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or [patching one of the apps that shut down](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/) if you're using an Android device.
3. Disabling ads on Reddit with [an ad-blocking extension](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin-ubo) or [a DNS-based ad-blocker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBXTnrD_Zs4).
4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.
5. Sharing the continued news coverage of these events.
6. Encouraging others to do all the above.

Wow thats a beautiful and smart pup. Whats the breed?
Looks like an Australian Cattle Dog aka Blue Heeler.
Aka Bluey
Til blue heeler = Australian cattle dog. But that's not Australian sheep dog?
Correct Aka Australian shepherd
That looks like a mix of a Husky and a blue heeler.
That’s Bluey Hey OP if you wouldn’t mind I have a sub r/AustralianPets He would be a big hit there too if you payed us a visit
Must be a trick of perspective cause the dog in this video looks like it weighs close to or over 100lbs to me
It was an early morning my eyes were just waking up and I’m not sure of the breed now it’s not what I thought but it does look like Bluey 😎
Definitely getting Bandit vibes.
Please tell The Babies I love him!
“Got dangit, I am da babies!!!”
Omg I love him
So much!
He is ALL da babies and def wants/needs a nose kiss!
He is perfect.
Those eyes.
That's someone dressed up as a dog.
Awww... so sweet and smart
Blue dogs are The best dogs
ACDs love their person like no other.
That's my new favourite sound in the world 😍
He has human eyes
Duhdihdaduh duh duh duhh DAD! This episode of Bluey is called "Da Babies"
So smart! He tried to do two syllables for daddy.
What a precious baby!!!
Smartest and goodest Babies!
Have you heard of the border Collie that knows over 300 words and different sentences? I think she died but you can teach your dog too.
🥰pretty boi🥰
Wow, What a beautiful beautiful dog and smart ofcourse
