In solidarity for those who need the APIs that Reddit is trying to monetize even though Reddit will not provide those features. The biggest for me are the ones that make Reddit usable for those who are blind or with poor eyesight. I am in neither category, but that is such an easy thing to do, Reddit trying to charge the 3rd party creators who have made it possible is offensive.
