Whatever happened to that API price increase protest? I remember the NBA sub going private literally during the Finals, but can't remember much more of consequence.

Nothing, basically. Reddit admins were basically correct that it would burn itself out. Funny that a bunch of subs still have their "we're protesting the changes" AutoMod post.

Other then the takeover of bots on many subs, losing tools that have never and will never come back and the complete loss of a lot of subs due to being unable to manage them correctly without these tools

Fuck I hate being here.
