   After a remarkable performance by Reddit's CEO in an AMA event, many of Reddit's largest subreddits have reversed course on their plans for a two day outage in protest over recent changes the the platforms API and are now planning to go dark indefinitely.

   Whoops.
   
   Reports are that CEO Steve Huffman didn't answer a single question from developers, spending all his time whiffing paid softballs.
   
   Here's a list of all the subreddits going offline in protest.

   It's a lot. Most of the big default subreddits, which, to be fair, are all troon-ridden shitholes.
   The default subreddits that new users are subscribed to will be going private so that new users can't access them at all.
   
   Which will improve the site, but I don't know if Redditors will see it that way.

     @Aether if this CEO kills Reddit he'll have been not only the best CEO in Reddit's history but one of the best CEOs in recent memory.

     @Aether I should put swastikas in my profile so Redditor fags don't follow me.

     @Tony @Aether yes, Reddit closing their API unless you pay big money, which means no 3rd party apps

     @coolboymew @Aether Since Reddit is going to have to switch to paid moderators anyways when they go public, why not just take the opportunity to demod everyone and replace them with Reddit-the-company moderators today? That's what I'd do. Show those Jannies who's boss! 😂
