The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.
To be honest I didn’t really care about the API thing because I used the web interface anyway. But the fact that they had this outrage from users and their answer was “LOL who cares” made me leave.
