The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

    But most of these are small communities, and today only protesting subreddit with over 10 million subscribers is r/fitness.

    Even if those subreddits never reopen, relinquishing the John Oliver rule officially brings the Reddit protests to a close.

    These sentenences are literally right after each other. I have no idea how a 10+ million subreddit still protesting and many smaller ones means the protests are “officially over”. It’s died down quite a bit but that doesn’t seem like a state to declare “officially over”.
