How can we reopen the FF14 subreddit?

We've already seen this backfire. Protests that blocked highways created negative sentiment for those protesting, not sympathy for their cause. Yes, I understand what they're going for. I don't care. They're taking their beef with Reddit out on users. This harms the common user more than Reddit. You need to inconvenience the people with the power to change something, and they have no way to do that, so they're just throwing a tantrum until they get their way.

You're removing the resource because they won't let you run it your way? Fine, I'll find a different resource. And I'll keep using it even when yours comes back up, because you've just shown me you're not reliable. Touch grass Reddit mods.

They asked the community first. Overwhelmingly was in support. Of course, if you don't use reddit, you probably didn't answer.



and @Ransu The strike isn't against monetization of the API, the APP creators are willing to pay. Reddit priced them out of competition, thats the issue. They made the costs so exorbitant that no one can pay. Someone did the math and Reddit just took their yearly revenue and divided it by number of total Monthly users. It comes to a cost of $0.12 per user, and they are charging $2.50 per user for the API calls.
