As I’m sure you’ve seen, lots of subreddits are [going dark to protest the API changes that Reddit](https://i.redd.it/zqptto18e34b1.jpg) plans to implement. The mod team has discussed going dark as well but we like to get community input as well.

Third party app developers are whining because the free lunch is over and their business model requires free lunch.
Mods are whining because they haven’t gone through the training material and think they need third party apps to moderate. Oh – they’re cut and pasting bad code into automod with lots of unintended consequences that mean more work so more bots they don’t really understand which slows everything down.
Pay for your lunch.
Kudos to r/budgetfood for even asking. Most communities (ha!) the mods are deciding without input.
