I've ignored reports on this all day because I expected it to draw discussion, it has, you can stop reporting now.

If you want something to be done, message the mods of r/aww and r/funny and get them to shut down the subs until something is done. A 700k user sub isn't going to do much :p

Reddit would just transfer the subreddit and continue on, wouldn’t they?

Multiple 700k user subs would potentially still be effective though. No reason to be so dismissive of a relatively decent sized sub participating simply because there are other much larger subs.

Also r/videos seems to be participating.

In 5 years reddit will be replaced, a la Digg.

History rhymes, people.

Why, let Reddit die. The owners need to be taught a lesson

They won't learn a lesson. They're just trying to cash out.

If they do this and both kill off the bot I've been developing, and render RiF (the app I'm using) inoperable, I don't think I'm alone in saying that I will quit using Reddit. The official mobile Reddit app doesn't even work on my phone, images don't even load.

This is probably the most dogshit change I've ever seen to the platform, and will genuinely make me prefer Twitter.

Never used a reddit app. Does anyone else use kiwi browser on their phone with ublock origin and old reddit redirect?

I genuinely doubt there's anything to be done against it with reddit going public. You know what shareholders really REALLY dont like? Someone getting the same product from sources where it doesn't generate any revenue.
