Reddit's CEO is warning employees not to wear branded gear in public as users stage a mass revolt. "Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well," Huffman told employees. In an internal memo obtained by The Verge, Huffman told employees to "please be mindful" of wearing Reddit gear. The developer of Apollo, a hugely popular third-party app, said the changes would cost them millions and force them to shut down. The loss of third-party apps would force users onto the official Reddit app, where they'd have to deal with advertisements.
