Sure, Reddit can do what they want with Reddit. That’s their right. And Reddit users (or a subset of Reddit users) can complain when Reddit makes product changes that they don’t like. That’s also their right. In this case, people find it frustrating that a) products that they like will stop being usable b) devs that they like will go out of business abruptly c) that communications from Reddit about this have been not great. Even if this is just a subset of users being mad, it appears to be the subset of users that also run many of the larger subreddits. If Reddit doesn’t want users like that to have the power to make highly visible demonstrations they should stop relying on them to do volunteer moderation.
