There is still the end of the month API deadline, Reddit is expecting everyone to return and forget the whole thing, which could work like the other “blowups” if the issue actually was over by then, but it isn’t. If and when the 3rd party apps go dark it’s going to kick off another wave of protest, and this time it’s not going to end until 3rd party apps are available again. What is left to be seen is how many users, moderators and subs are actually willing to participate, and how many just throw in the towel and give up.
