That’s wild. Didn’t most of the apps release notifications in advance, through the app interface? It’s possible Reddit actually is having outages, as well as having cut off third party apps, though I am not going to check.
I’m surprised that anyone wouldn’t have known…
Clearly you’ve never had to work in customer support. People take “ignorance is bliss” to heart.
You caught me. Never worked customer support a day in my life!
There was so much media coverage and notifications around it. I can’t believe so many people were blindsided!
You’re giving humans too much credit the vast majority are idiots. Probably me included.
Not being aware of the api change doesn’t make someone stupid just means they aren’t chronically online and don’t fellow the fear mongering media
Sad.
That’s honestly kinda sad :( At least I had weeks to prepare for it…
I mean, this is funny but at the same time sad

Or who anyways report it, out of spite
I imagine these were the same people complaining about their favorite subreddits being closed. Completely clueless over what was happening right in front of them.
What is the reason for all these outage reports?
It’s when most of the third party apps stopped working forever due to the API changes.
These reports are manual btw. It’s implied as much all over the thread, but no one explicitly said that reddit isn’t actually down, this is just people who think it is.
