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.
It takes a long time for sites to die completely. Livejournal was wildly popular in its day, but after a couple of changes of owners and becoming a Russian government propaganda machine later, it still exists, but despite me being a staunch LJer I don’t know anyone who still posts there. Nobody talks about it as anything but in the past tense. In time I expect Reddit to be another internet graveyard.
