View submission: [Announcement] Reddit's upcoming API changes and impact on toolbox.
As a mod of a somewhat large sub, Moderator Toolbox is absolutely essential. If it would help, I'd gladly pay a few $ a month to keep it going. And yes I know, thousands of us would have to do that.
As a developer myself, I also understand the developer fatigue that sets in after a while, and Reddits move towards being closed rather than (mostly) open, doesn't help with the aforementioned fatigue.
Reddit *really* need to take a good, hard look at its most loyal user base. Those of us who's been here for over 2 decades is going to stop moderating these big subs, thus decreasing the quality of those subs. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what the result will be in the long run.

I know a lot of you would be willing to pay. However I think there is a fundamental issue if in addition to the clear value mods provide to reddit they also would be required to effectively pay reddit to do it as effectively as possible. That goes against all principles toolbox is build on.
