       | resolved according to spez.

         | tools, bots, and non commercial accessibility tools.

         | If they actually make good on their word, that's not too bad of
         | an arrangement. Though I still don't think many devs will trust
         | reddit after this though, the damage is done.

         | I do hope some of the major apps will opensource and let you
         | enter your own API key at some point.

       | About to roll a J and kick back probably gonna browse the web and
       | some of my favorite subreddits.
       | 
       | I have work on Monday.

       | Beyond seeing this post on HN, I'd have no idea this "protest" is
       | happening, and to be fair I'll have forgotten about it by Sunday.
