Please see this post for a statement for the lead dev for the Apollo app.
You can sign your name in protest here
On July 1st Reddit is going to limit API access for third party apps unless they pay money, this means Apps like Apollo, Reddit Is Fun, Narwhal and Bacon Reader are expected to pay up to 1.7 million dollars A MONTH just to operate, as you're all aware these apps are currently free and do not make anywhere close to that figure monthly. This means these apps will cease to function on July 1st and you will either have to use the official Reddit app (which sucks) or access Reddit through a computer.
Currently about 65% of this subs users are from mobile apps.
Unique visitors
Total page views
Example from June 1st
Using the above example: 171,247 total views from mobile apps, which is 65% of the total page views at 263,111
This change is going to absolutely destroy Reddit and is not something users of this website should tolerate or be forced to accept. Please follow the instructions in the first post linked to send your feedback to Reddit. Reddit promised pricing would be reasonable and fair and are now claiming charging Apollo (a free app) 20 million dollars a year is a fair price.
Please remember to keep your feedback free of abusive language and insults but I beg you all to please make your voices heard, I know this is a subreddit about this video game but this change is going to effect every single person across the entire website and is not something we are willing to stand idly by and watch happen.
Thank you,

Edit: Sorry should have clarified
A large amount of subs all blacking out (going private) at once will get media attention and Reddit have repeatedly proved in the past the only that gets them to budge on changes like this that screw massive amounts of people over are if they get bad publicity from it
