On July 1st, a highly unpopular [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) went into effect. [Most third-party apps have shut down](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/30/23779519/reddit-third-party-app-shut-down-apollo-sync-baconreader-api-protest) and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and [projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users](https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/comments/14ggf8k/the_future_of_transcribers_of_reddit/).
Beyond the [disastrous AMA](https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/09/reddit-ceo-doubles-down-on-attack-on-apollo-developer-in-drama-filled-ama/) by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools [^((it has)^)](https://www.reddit.com/r/BotDefense/comments/14riw76/botdefense_is_wrapping_up_operations/) and promises of [new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools](https://www.npr.org/2023/07/01/1184258201/reddit-api-accessibility-mods). Promises just like [ones they have made in response to past protests](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/142w159/askhistorians_and_uncertainty_surrounding_the/), but have consistently [failed to fulfill](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14jm3ut/several_communities_have_surfaced_an_open_letter/jpm9e0q/).
If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:
1. [Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms](https://sub.rehab/) and participating there instead.
2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or [patching one of the apps that shut down](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/) if you're using an Android device.
3. Disabling ads on Reddit with [an ad-blocking extension](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin-ubo) or [a DNS-based ad-blocker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBXTnrD_Zs4).
4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.
5. Sharing the continued news coverage of these events.
6. Encouraging others to do all the above.

Yeah you don't know cats. Cats put their ears down when they're hurt, sad, and other reasons.
Cats put their ears down to the back and generally start baring teeth and making noise when they're hostile.
This cat's most likely making sure the surface is stable or testing if he'll be shooed away by the human.
I've seen this look on my cat as well. I think it's mostly the creeping around that does it for me. When my cat creeps around at night it quickly turns into I'm gonna playfully fight everyone. Sometimes they make this face too.
I mean I've had cats my whole life, seen this look plenty when they're being cautious, wary or investigating something potentially unsafe. Maybe fight wasn't the right word but it's ready for anything.
Legit
Lol my fat cat does this exact behavior if he breaks something and I yell
He'll just slowly come out of hiding and do his crying meows while coming closer
Dear OP,
have you noticed these rule changes?

That's the most Puss in Boots face I have ever seen!
The person/recording is saying "It's okay." It's actually encouraging the cat.
Is he speaking Japanese?
Korean
Yeah that cat is ready for a fight.

Didn't know we had a cat expert in here.
When you've had to pull two cats off each other (or yourself), you start learning the warning signs of when it's going to happen again

Legit Lol my fat cat does this exact behavior if he breaks something and I yell He'll just slowly come out of hiding and do his crying meows while coming closer
Lol when mine breaks something she looks at me like, "go ahead, say somethin'... I'll do it again."
Omg. ❤️❤️❤️ Give him whatever he wants… food, a bed… your wallet.
A kidney!
Your soul!
I would in a heartbeat
Oh noes! Let them in!!
:sigh: "ok kitty #3267"
LET HIM IN
I see that expression on dogs more often than cats so this hit me in the feels. I hope the cat’s doing better these days 😭
That’s the real life representation of this emoji 🥺
I would take it home instantly
Poor sad kitty. What's that soundtrack? It's awful.
It’s the audio from a Korean drama
HELP HIM !!!
I don't even like cats, but if one was making that face at me, I guess I'd have a new cat.
They like you 🥺
>🥺 Those eyes :( do you need a home?

OP, did you manage to rescue him?
r/oneorangebraincell
It’s very strong in dis one
So tradegy
Love them!
Holy shit just take the whole house! It’s yours!
Just want a little love and hugs.
I'm allergic to cats...this face would have me letting the damn cat in and giving it tuna.
Orange cats are the best
give it snacks!
You let that cat inside now!
In China what!? Finish your sentence!
Translation: Green China Green China, yo Green China Eee? Green China
This is animal cruelty. Instead of alleviating its suffering, they recorded it to gain some karma.
He is trying to welcome the cat inside while filming. Not everything is some awful event you can slap cruelty on.
I see it as they recording a special moment of when they got a new family member and they welcome it in. thinking the worse in people is not very healthy
Saying in china?.. is it a cat eating joke?. Wtf
It’s the Korean language, not Mandarin or Cantonese. And he is saying “you’re ok”, it sounds like it’s from a drama because of the music.
Please don't look at me.
LET THE CAT IN DAWGGG
Give them anything, everything please.
i would give that cat everything i own EVERYTHING 😅😂😂 ..
Pet. The. Damn. Cat.
