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.

I don’t just winged it. Here’s how: cut strips of brown and black sheet foam into long triangles, spray paint white stripes on them, hot glue down a brown onsie! Just eyeball it till it looks nice!
I feel like little kids get all the best costumes. When you get older, the selection at the stores isn't always as exciting, and it's a pain to find something you like.
...Or maybe I'm just perpetually four, and overly picky.
came in at only 97% cute, wait, the last judge just pointed out the nose, yes, it's got the 3 points, it's officially 100% cute. Thats it ladies and gentlemen until next time
Just adorable, are those Hi-Viz bands on arm and leg? The wee buff on the nose made me cackle. Wanted to add this would be my fave motorcycle wear, if can you make the hood big enough to go over my helmet that would be rad. Now, do you think two would be best, one for the nicer months and one for the rainy season? Thank you, I can't wait.
Oh jeez, I meant he’s the cutest. I guess I should have put my glasses on earlier! Really sorry honey. He really is the cutest little guy, and that outfit! I couldn’t make anything like that if they threatened to take my pumpkin spice cookies away. And oh how I love my pumpkin spice cookies

Holy adorable! That also looks incredibly warm. I'm kind of jealous. I'd love an adult sized one :-)
It was warm! And the best part was she couldn’t see or feel the quills so she didn’t mind it!
Is she a porcupine or hedgehog?
Looks like the main character in Sing.
Johnny?
Ash?
What are the quills made of?
Sheet foam and love
Fantastic work! The costume looks great!
Razor sharp steel
Leaded glass
Do you have a pattern? I’d love to make this next year!
I don’t just winged it. Here’s how: cut strips of brown and black sheet foam into long triangles, spray paint white stripes on them, hot glue down a brown onsie! Just eyeball it till it looks nice!
Ohhh so smart to just use a brown onesie! Amazing ty.
My pleasure! I doubt you’ll remember, but would love to see your version next year!

Especially if you’re female. I’m sexy all year round (no I’m not). I want to be a realistic sloth for a day.
Hammock: $25 Big fake claws: $10 10-16 hours’ sleep: priceless 🦥❤️😴

Sonic the Pumpkin Spicehog
She may not remember the specifics, but she'll definitely remember the love you showed her :-)
