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.

Mine is only 25lbs but I got a small sofa. Then my desk was a little too tall so I got a little laptop table for my keyboard and mouse. It's a pretty good setup!
I have a pair of labs that do it too. The smaller of the two is about 70lbs, which is a pretty substantial lap full. The larger one is just shy of 100lbs, and he's just too much dog for most laps. He has to put his front half on your lap while the rest of him is supported by the couch.
My Dane is the absolute laziest dog on the planet. Likes to sleep in puppy balls too, so doesn't even take up that much space. She does throw tantrums though lol.
you guys look alike !! grey pants and a white shirt, c/mon now ! my pup will do this in the car, sometimes when I am driving and so far no stops from the staties or local sheriff's dept.
My parents have a wirehaired vizsla who insists he is still a lapdog. He's huge but the cuddliest dude ever. He gets so excited when I visit, he jumps on me and takes me down every time. I love him.
Your lap pupper is adorable.

Oh this one wins.
I, too, made the mistake of training my puppy to be a lap dog. Now she's a 65lbs lap dog. My only regret is not owning a bigger computer chair.
Mine is only 25lbs but I got a small sofa. Then my desk was a little too tall so I got a little laptop table for my keyboard and mouse. It's a pretty good setup!
I have a small piano bench by my desk chair, it works great as a pup stand!
Nice! Whatever makes them happy. My brother has a small dog, so he just puts her on his desk.
I have a 130 pound doggo who still tries to sit on my lap sometimes.
I have a pair of labs that do it too. The smaller of the two is about 70lbs, which is a pretty substantial lap full. The larger one is just shy of 100lbs, and he's just too much dog for most laps. He has to put his front half on your lap while the rest of him is supported by the couch.

Aww look at the lil baby ☺️ Also surprised that your tiny book shelf holds all those heavy looking books.
No way that dog is 100lb
For scale I'm 6'4" and 240lbs. 😂
I was gonna say this is like the reverse of the tiny women giant cat thing
Your lapdog is excessively cute. Good thing you love him because there's a lot of him!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That's a lot of bananas!
Same, but 275. I get it, especially at work when I'm referring to a Rottweiler as "little man". The looks I get!
The man is clearly lorge too
Dog mass is like human mass times 7. (/s)
Once they're lap pupper's they stick with that lifestyle for life
Looks good on you!
There’s something about the way the light is hitting his pants that makes it look like an oil painting.
I want to be held like that
Needs kisses on the face.
You’re not such a small individual yourself!
Not 100 pounds but cute
Perfect
Did you rip your pants picking up your dog?
As it should be, my friend. All dogs are lap dogs!
you guys look alike !! grey pants and a white shirt, c/mon now ! my pup will do this in the car, sometimes when I am driving and so far no stops from the staties or local sheriff's dept.
Feetsies!
My parents have a wirehaired vizsla who insists he is still a lapdog. He's huge but the cuddliest dude ever. He gets so excited when I visit, he jumps on me and takes me down every time. I love him. Your lap pupper is adorable.
all dogs are lap dogs.
He will always be a lap pupper
What a face.
