Hi all,

Reddit has announced changes that their API will cost a huge amount and that will likely result in most(If not all) 3rd party apps having to shut down. Apps like Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Narwhal, and BaconReader. This will also include 3rd party programs and bots that are used by subreddits to keep the spam/advertisements to a minimum.

Any 3rd party apps remaining will also likely lose access to NSFW content/subreddits and so users will be forced to use the official Reddit app or focus on desktop only. This also directly affects GWASI, which has been used by many in the community to effectively and easily navigate the content on GWA.

You can read more about it here: "Don't let Reddit kill 3rd party apps"

A growing number of Subreddits are planning a blackout to protest this change and we plan to join them.

What this means: From June 12th - June 14th GWA will be undergoing a blackout and being set to private to show support alongside the other subreddits that are protesting this change. This means that during that time no one will be able to post any content until it’s lifted on the 14th.

Things you can do to help: Participate in the communities that highlight this issue like r/Save3rdPartyApps, r/apolloapp, r/redditisfun, r/getnarwhal/ or send a message to Reddit via their forms/message the admin page and let them know your thoughts.
