Reddit's CEO reportedly told staff that the community's API protest will blow over | Engadget
Reddit's CEO reportedly told staff to ignore the noise from a protest against the company's decision to charge for API access.
“There’s a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we’ve seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well,” he reportedly wrote. “We absolutely must ship what we said we would. The only long term solution is improving our product, and in the short term we have a few upcoming critical mod tool launches we need to nail.” [...] Meanwhile, Huffman warned staff about wearing Reddit-branded apparel in public for the time being. "Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations," he wrote.

He's absolutely right. 48 hours and it'll all blow over like it never happened. If I'd organized it, it would be no less than a month, and indefinitely if demands weren't met.
