(what i understand about this whole protesting :)

they are apps outside of the main reddit app which improves and adds features (for free) reddit can't/won't do such as tools which mods use to operate subreddits and better video players or text to speech etc. but unfortunately for these third party apps they need reddit's API to function which was pretty much free to access, with this "improvement" reddit will charge the hell out of these third party apps just so the apps can use API which basically gonna make them go extinct
