Ya know, this whole situation has me thinking about stuff - very dangerous. But it seems like this API move kills a few birds with one stone for the corporate Reddit:
They lose all or most of the people that were there since the early days, so you will have less resistance to corporate shitting on users in the future.
These people leaving probably removes a large chunk of trolls that fuck with the casual Reddit user - ya know, the gal that didn’t even know there was another mobile app besides the official one.
Those casual users probably don’t know much about ad-block.
I guess all that is to say: They’re probably not burning, they’re probably excited the way things are going. They can better package and sell the ever more homogenized, terrible, boring, disney-ad reddit.
