Overwatch, CS:GO among thousands of Reddit communities going dark in protest of platform changes

Following Reddit’s decision to charge third-party app creators to access the site’s API, thousands of communities across the website went private on June 11, including many gaming-related subreddits.

In total, over five thousand subreddits (including Overwatch and CS:GO) were switched to private on Monday according to Reddark, a website built to track communities that were standing against the social media giant. With the subreddits closed and unavailable to view, many took to other social networks to assist in the protest.
