Reddit recently decided to drastically increase prices on API access, effectively killing off lots of third-party apps. Apollo, the most popular third-party app, for instance, announced it would shut down at the end of the month. The new policy has proven wildly unpopular with Reddit users, who recently turned an AMA with the CEO into a total disaster.

To protest the new policy, Reddit users turned lots of popular forums private, effectively shutting down some of Reddit's top pages. It's not clear how or why that would potentially crash the site, but amid lots of bad news for Reddit, things got worse on Monday.
