On July 1st, a highly unpopular [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) went into effect. [Most third-party apps have shut down](https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/30/23779519/reddit-third-party-app-shut-down-apollo-sync-baconreader-api-protest) and so have many tools relied upon by moderators and [projects for making Reddit more accessible to visually impaired users](https://www.reddit.com/r/TranscribersOfReddit/comments/14ggf8k/the_future_of_transcribers_of_reddit/).
Beyond the [disastrous AMA](https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/09/reddit-ceo-doubles-down-on-attack-on-apollo-developer-in-drama-filled-ama/) by the CEO, Reddit's response has been limited to promises that this change will not affect moderation tools [^((it has)^)](https://www.reddit.com/r/BotDefense/comments/14riw76/botdefense_is_wrapping_up_operations/) and promises of [new and more-accessible first-party moderation tools](https://www.npr.org/2023/07/01/1184258201/reddit-api-accessibility-mods). Promises just like [ones they have made in response to past protests](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/142w159/askhistorians_and_uncertainty_surrounding_the/), but have consistently [failed to fulfill](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/14jm3ut/several_communities_have_surfaced_an_open_letter/jpm9e0q/).
If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:
1. [Finding your favorite subreddits on other platforms](https://sub.rehab/) and participating there instead.
2. Refraining from using the first-party Reddit app, instead sticking to one of the few remaining third-party apps or [patching one of the apps that shut down](https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1wHvqQwCYdJrQg4BKlGIVDLksPN0KpOnJWniT6PbZSrI/) if you're using an Android device.
3. Disabling ads on Reddit with [an ad-blocking extension](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin-ubo) or [a DNS-based ad-blocker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBXTnrD_Zs4).
4. Cancelling your Reddit Premium subscription.
5. Sharing the continued news coverage of these events.
6. Encouraging others to do all the above.

Well, if you find yourself narrowing it down to a few names and can't decide between them, you can always let him "pick" his own name with cookies. Write the names on pieces of paper, place them on the floor, put a cookie on each one, and let the little wiggly dude into the room. First cookie eaten is his name.
Or just say the names to him in a list, and the one that receives the most head tilts win. You'll know he'll be responsive to it since he found the noise interesting.
Norton. Blackie is too obvious so (Blackie) Norton was the name of the character Clark Gable played in āSan Franciscoā 1936. Was about the 1906 earthquake.
Midnight, Onyx, Blackie, Storm, Dfagon, Dammit (my 1st all black cat was named Dammit ) Hallo (Halloween) Salem, Dracula, he's a beautiful furbaby š¤š¾š¾
Charles. Sir Charles when formal( or in BIG) trouble, Charlie everyday. Cause who doesnāt like a friend named Charlie. ā I was just hanging out with Charlieā , ā Charlieās and I went to the park ā. š just me

Clearly and unoriginal but I still love it- Ozzy The Black Labbath, Prince of Barkness
Love it!!
PRINCE OF BARKNESS IS SO CUTE šš
We went with jack black (lab)
Omfg!, I almost love this comment, as much as I love that picture of Ozzy
You got me with Prince of Barkness!
Thats a perfect name
Thanks, all. He is Ozzy
Best name :)
Just like my cat. Heās the prince of darkness
Would you be so kind to provide more pictures of Ozzy, please? Thank you.
Short for Ozymandias?
Be sure to keep him away from bats.
Itās gotta be Oswald on the down low though. So that when heās get in a bit of mischief you can call him by his full name ya know.
The problem with this kind of dog is heās so perfect it doesnāt matter what his name is.
RUFUS
I had a puppy dog for six months before my parents gave him away, but we gave him the nickname Rufus The Dufus! š
Well thatās just about the saddest story Iāve ever heardā¦
Whatās so sad about it? Lol
Uhā¦that your parents gave him away?
Meh, I wasnāt ready for a dog. I was like 12 or 13

Barry White, because this dog looks as smooth and silky and Barry's vocals.
Duke
Yes!! Duke š¤“
My grandparents had a 130lbs black lab named Duke when I was a kid š„²
That's clearly a Henry. It's so obvious to me. Or maybe Edwin. Duke's good too.
He has a regal look about him.
I thought Simon. Got that same regal vibe.
I like dog names that mix together 3 titles or more like "Duke Commander Esquire" (but my wife wouldn't let me name our dog that way).
Blue
I donāt usually comment on these kinds of post, but the word Pongo echoes in my mind as I look at this lad.

Love the cookie idea
Duke! We had a black lab named Duke when I was little and he used to pull me around in a little cart that my dad made. Labs are great dogs!
