As Reddit continues to deal with the mess created by high API prices, CEO Steve Huffman has written to employees to seemingly downplay the impact of network-wide subreddit closures are having.
When it became clear that the prices Reddit will charge for access to its API will put apps like Apollo (one of the best Reddit apps around) out of business, many subreddit moderators said that they would act. That meant that subreddits under their control would "go dark," or effectively be made private so that nobody could see or post to them.
