Users are protesting Reddit's new pricing policy that charges third-party apps for using its API.
Nearly 3,500 subreddit forums are set to go private for 48 hours on Monday to protest Reddit's new pricing policy, BBC News reported.
The user also wrote that if Reddit didn't "fix what they've broken" then the community would take further action.
Its developer, Christian Selig, said in a Reddit post that it's being asked by the platform to pay $0.24 for every 1,000 requests to its API.
The pricing policy will take effect from July 1.
