Reddit is totally justified in this. The users are actively and maliciously trying to hurt Reddit. However, this is in response to many many completely unjustifiable actions from Reddit. Mostly the lies.

If they had just come out and said "we're killing the API in 6-12 months", as others before them have done, they would have seen much less pushback, but they had to lie over and over again about "not killing 3rd party apps" and "working with developers".

When tens-of-thousands-strong communities are voting overwhelmingly in favor of these "malicious" actions maybe we should look at what they are responding to.

Yes it's intended to hurt Reddit. How else are protests supposed to be actually meaningful or result in any actual negotiating leverage? These subreddits have power in their numbers and they're just using it.

Yes I mentioned what they were responding to in the comment you replied to.
