Reddit Faces User Backlash and Volunteer Revolt Over New Policies

ZDNET - Reddit is experiencing a user revolt and volunteer backlash due to management's attempt to monetize the platform. The decision to charge for API usage has led to an ongoing blackout of popular subreddits, leaving millions of users unable to access their favorite communities. Despite the outcry, Reddit's CEO remains determined to stick with the new policies, risking the alienation of the platform's dedicated community. If Reddit continues on this path, it may suffer a fate similar to failed social networks like Digg, MySpace, and LiveJournal.
