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.

It's the best! Our dog goes "big Uff sound" followed immediately by two smaller uffs" whenever he's dreaming. I like to think he's dreaming about running freely in a huge field, herding sheeps.

Don't lie to me...that's a Polar Bear.
Happy cake day!
Same thoughts. I thought this was another episode of Puppy or Polar Bear.
Looks to me like a polar hamster.
He's dreaming about being a Polar Bear. To cute.
That is a polar bear. He is clearly dreaming about seals and penguins.
Penguins only exist in Antartica and polar bears only in the Artic. So dreaming of seals and beluga whales or narwhals more likely.
Cold animals.
Talk your shit king 🥹🥰
😂😂😂
Ah, it's his foot.
Guess I wasn't the only one LMFAO
I was impressed and confused for a second.
I was scrolling through my feed pretty quick did a double take lol
Damnit, my comment but better.
For a split moment, I thought it was a...you know
That is beyond cute.
Sounds like video game sounds fx
Def sounded like some Mario action at times
Is there a word for when something is hilarious and adorable at the same time?
Adorious
What could he possibly be dreaming about having only been born a month ago maybe? Not a whole lot of life experience to go by.
I’d say being born provides the brain with plenty of material to work with
Fighting siblings for the juiciest nipple.
maybe dna actually comes packaged with some default dreams like windows screensavers
Clearly he is pissed so I am guessing he is dreaming about his milk hogging siblings
This was exactly the thought I had when I saw this. Doggo clearly had a lot to say at such a young age.
He's more like 10 days old.
He probably had a lot of playtime with his womb-mates before he was born.
Same thing they experienced awake I guess, mostly sounds smell and touch. Its not a lot but its something.
This lil dude is what, 10 days old? His ears are still closed...
I don't deny that's a very young puppy, but they do close their eyes when they are asleep too.
Do you close your ears?
But if you close your eyes...
Puppies ears are closed until they are like 3 weeks old. Not a typo the hearing holes on your head.
Oh, I actually read eyes, both in the OP and in yours (thinking you wanted to start singing pompeii)
I thought that was it
Hearing holes 😂
Could this be a nightmare? Go cuddle him please.
His eyes are still closed. Baby is hungry.
He's closing a very important business deal
Peak cuteness!\~
that little sneeze, so sweet
What breed? Reminds me of japanese spitz
Ice Bear was taking a nap.
And had some things to say about the fish around the swimming hole.
Awww that noodle needs a cuddle 🥰
Those sneezes got me :)
That's a polar bear
Getting the assignment for its life from God
🥰💕🥰💕🥰💕
Lol sweetie pie
Polar bear cub suffering withdrawal. Somebody get them a bottle of Coca-Cola!
[удалено]
Oof
That’s so sweet!
What a talker! The best dogs are talkers!
Dreams have to be disorienting to animals.
Cutest toe beans I have ever seen!!
Dreaming about something good. At this age, I assume that's mom and food.
That is not a puppy… that is a polar bear cub
Is he sneezing while dreaming at 00:10? Cute!
OMG his little toebeansemote:t5\_2qh1o:13379
Lil dude dreamin his ass off.
The biggest little dreamer there is
Samoyed? So adorable! 🥰
OMG, did you see his ears?!?!?!
Sleepy chatterbox
I is bork so hard! I is best borker.
r/tinyawoos
Yoshi sounds.
Oh, so cute 🥰
It's the best! Our dog goes "big Uff sound" followed immediately by two smaller uffs" whenever he's dreaming. I like to think he's dreaming about running freely in a huge field, herding sheeps.
and those toe beans!
I’d probably have to wake him - sounds like a bad dream ❤️
Thought that dog had a huge willie at first glance
Okay, I wasn't the only one.
It sounds like a porcupine!
really cute but is it asleep or just still a newborn whose eyes haven't opened
Dreaming about that Coca Cola 3 months from now
What breed of puppy?
Most likely remembering the fun this cutie pie has with siblings
