Thousands of Reddit forums went dark Monday in a user-driven protest against the social media platform.

The voluntary blackouts lead by Reddit’s largest online communities, include popular groups devoted to music, history, sports, and video games, restrict groups’ content from being publicly visible. The protests include more than two dozen subreddits with at least 10 million subscribers, as well as thousands of smaller networks.

The protests are over a Reddit plan to charge millions of dollars in fees for some third-party apps to continue accessing the platform. The plan has forced several of Reddit’s top app-makers to shut down because they cannot afford the new costs, which are set to begin as soon as next month.

For years, Reddit users could browse posts, write comments and share pictures and video on Reddit from third-party apps. Now, however, Reddit is seeking large payments from app makers to maintain that same level of access.

Couple of trophies will be handed out this week.

Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers is tonight at 8.
