Multiple subreddits became inactive as moderators protested the online forum's new API pricing. According to Lifehacker, some participants said the new policy would make hosting their groups extremely expensive. Also, the new rule would forbid in-app advertising, which could offset costs. As a result, a Reddit blackout will span from June 12 to 14, 2023. Online reference library Datareportal said Reddit has roughly 50 million daily active users and a billion monthly active users. Nowadays, numerous people rely on the platform to get the latest information, meet like-minded people, and offer other services.
