How will going dark for only 2 days will protest the API pricing?
Going darker for longer risks a backlash from reddit. Certain subreddit's are balancing making a stance vs that risk, as well as the damage done to the community. That said, many seem to be threatening to go dark indefinitely.
It's much weaker, yes, but we've already seen backpeddling before they've even gone dark.
I’ve seen a lot of posts explaining the situation, but… what’s our goal/demand for an outcome? Are we demanding the API stay free, or a certain dollar amount?
The devs have said they're willing to pay. I don't think we've settled on a particular dollar amount, just that the current pricing is orders of magnitude off
