In addition to the new API pricing, Reddit and its CEO's response to its users complaints was condescending and unempathetic. Many users have decided to leave Reddit because the company takes its most important asset--user-generated content--for granted. Others are leaving because important accessibility features will be unavailable after the API prices go into effect.
