Recently a lot of Reddit subs are ''going dark'' by turning to private or closing!
So what's going on there?

Reddit can shutdown and i'd laugh, it's a bully system anyways. I don't take reddit seriously enough so i use throw away accounts.

That explains it all.

I've never used reddit and no plans too either.

It's a Bad choice really to charge for 3rd party apps used for reddit. Just make reddit better looking. Simple really. Comprehensive Account Security

If I remember right, they are basically charging users for api access. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Sadly unless they revoke this change, it seems like a good number of subs will stay closed indefinitely.

I'm inclined to agree as it seems like the quality of posts and responses have taken a nosedive. It seems like the only subs left are the ultra judgemental ones filled with people with very little practical life experience. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known
