    I hope that post gets traction. People should be sharing it all over to prove Reddit is being entirely disingenuous. They don’t care about third party apps or accessibility, they immediately made promises they have no ability to keep before their self imposed deadline.

    Edit: after considering further I just wish the post organically gained traction. I think Reddit deserves to be shamed for what they are doing, but wouldn’t want it to seem like people are using their community in furtherance of a broader goal.

      I have zero problems letting r/Blind lead the charge. They did a great job highlighting the failure of exec leadership.

      At the end of the day, what Reddit can sell to advertisers are communities of like-minded people who might be willing to buy stuff.

      Drive out the community, and what can Reddit sell? Nothing. They should be scrambling to repair the damage done, to keep advertising eyeballs in their ecosystem. r/Blind response shows that they have no clue and no intent to retain users.

      I agree this really seems like it should be dead center in the conversation. It clearly demonstrates just how massively reddit is messing up. Right before leaving last week I saw tons of people upset and disgusted when they realized these repercussions. I don’t know if that sentiment has continued over there.

        Unfortunately there are tons of people believing that Reddit has already done the work by exempting certain accessibility apps from the changes. So they think there’s nothing to worry about.
