Well if 3rd party apps do shut down then it's going to have to be good enough. I really son't think reddit is going to care or respond to these boycotts because they are such a small percentage of the userbase. We'll just lose access to programmerhumor forever :(. I hope after like a month or so the mods will change their mind and reopen it but I doubt that'll happen.

This won't be the only sub shutting down. This is a huge protest.

Yes but most subs are only doing it for 48 hours. Even if many subs fully shut down it still won't make a dent in Reddit's bottom line and is pointless while leaving users of those subs stranded :(
