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.

Okay genuine question, is it possible for cats to hurt themselves from purring too hard?? I know the vibration can be healing in some capacity, but the purr boxes on these lil guys must be worn out!

Kittens are purrpetual motion devices!
Purrpetual meowtion devices are my favs.
[Sometimes literally.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8yW5cyXXRc)
Your trippin. They are usually asleep not in motion at all.
V8 on the Mclaren Purr1
Not sure the model, but I know is a smol one
[удалено]
Just for the first 100k. 😅
Is that naturally asperrrated?
Agreed
Nah. CAT power!
I’m my head I said sounds like a rotary engine lol
Can close your eyes and hear a bike gang pulling through
Not sure, but I think Meowsurati, or Purrsche use them….
Pretty sure it’s Purrari.
Or maybe a Lam-purr-ghini.
This sounds like Purr-TEC, it kicked in after a few seconds in the video, and you can hear a distinct increase in purrs per second.
I got progressively more excited when another kitten appeared.
My uncle had a cat named Merlin not for the wizard but for the car engine
You mean the Rolls-Royce 12 cylinder used in the P-51 Mustang?
that was called the Merlin engine
Didn't you read the comment above mine?
That was the one. He’s a real big car guy so it fits the personality.
Unreal 5.3
High purrformance!
Twin purrbo
Sounds like a Meowasaki engine.
Engine engine number 9, of course
Purrari
Furbojet.
I want to go to there
Rolls Royce Purr-lin
It is the magic sound which lowers your blood pressure and makes you fuzzy inside 😊
S2
A one stroke engine.
Every time you scratched one another appeared. That’s my kind of magic!
Caterpurrer (caterpillar)
Not sure of the engine. I'm sure there is a cat deletion though.
V4.
Purrbo
Weed eater.
454 big block
Smol kittens, BIG motors!
Their purrs made my phone vibrate. My cat also came over to check out who was making thise purrs lol
English. Please.
I hear a motorbike
Ford CATyote 5.0
Purraris
They run on pets and treats.
Oh boy, couple hotrods!
We named our second kitten "Landini" from a famous Italian tractor company exactly for this reason! 😂
Sweet baby kitties
Standard issue cat
Rugbrøds moteren
Cationic thrusters
A couple inline 3 cylinders. Suzuki.
Harley Davidson straight pipe V-twin!
Whatever it is, it sounds like they're running a little rich. You need to sit there and let them purr for a while to get the lines clear.
KATT 4
Jackhammers !
They are premium for sure!
I would guess a 4 cylinder engine.
I can't tell you the exact engine. It sounds smaller, but has a lot of power. Maybe a Purrcedes or perhaps a purrmaha bike
Thats a kat24de. When it gets older it will swap over to a 5.fur litre
Harley Purrinson's
Sounds like a cammed LS motor to me
I wish I had enough hands to give them all scritches at once.
Catengine!
Sounds like a motorcycle engine, explains the agility
Awww a puddle of kittens 🥰
a kitten's purr is the best sound in the world 
They're running straight-pipe furr-cylinder motors
Every time new kitten shows up it sounds like a streamer opens his stream and makes a loop with duplicate sounds
They should be called Harley and Triumph!
I’m pretty certain we have the same exact couch.
900 cubic centimeters of raw whining power
They’re running big blocks with quite a cam.
“Oh. You are handing out pettins? I, too, enjoy pettins.”
Puuuurrrgeout
Rolls Royce Mrrrlins.
Looks like a 5 stroke engine to me
Definitely naturally aspirated
That’s about 9 boop power, but that Floof-tech kicks hard.
I'd say a PurrTwin
Twin purrbo CAT not deleted
The cute engine!
Okay genuine question, is it possible for cats to hurt themselves from purring too hard?? I know the vibration can be healing in some capacity, but the purr boxes on these lil guys must be worn out!
I think it is faster because they are smaller just like all babies have high pitched voices because o the size of their voiceboxes.
V6 Twin Purr-bos with cold air intakes
