    There was so much media coverage and notifications around it. I can’t believe so many people were blindsided!

      You’re giving humans too much credit the vast majority are idiots. Probably me included.

        No they are just busy living their lives. They are not following reddit events. Maybe that seems weird to someone who constantly follows it, but the absolute majority have other things going on in their lives.

        Good for them I guess. :)

        Not being aware of the api change doesn’t make someone stupid just means they aren’t chronically online and don’t fellow the fear mongering media

    That’s wild. Didn’t most of the apps release notifications in advance, through the app interface? It’s possible Reddit actually is having outages, as well as having cut off third party apps, though I am not going to check.

    I imagine these were the same people complaining about their favorite subreddits being closed. Completely clueless over what was happening right in front of them.

      It’s when most of the third party apps stopped working forever due to the API changes.

      These reports are manual btw. It’s implied as much all over the thread, but no one explicitly said that reddit isn’t actually down, this is just people who think it is.
