I can't believe how tone-deaf this is, even after all the subreddits that have already announced a blackout, likely joined by many, many more. You and your team aren't listening to the community at all right now.

You have a real fight on your hands, here. Will your comment become /r/agedlikemilk material?

Let's all hope so!

Are you guys insane or think we just don't know basic math and saw a number go up from 60 to 100 and would be happy?

This setup *guarantees* no third party application of any kind, without it being a *personal* one or aggregator, and I'll bet that people won't be able to create new client ids easily for personal use either.

Your free tier is in name only.

Wait… seriously?? So Pager, a non-commercial app that many of us as mods use in our work, is also going to have to pony up to continue??

Okay, so you're still killing 3rd party apps.

So reddit inc is committed to destroying the platform for a short term IPO boost.

You've become Buzzfeed.

Good job.
