Reddit says it will update its newly revised API terms to carve out an exception for accessibility apps, which allow users, including people who are blind or visually impaired, a way to browse and use Reddit. The carve-out comes after Reddit announced new API terms that would put most third-party app developers out of business, as they could no longer afford the high fees that come with the new pricing. One developer of the popular Reddit app Apollo, for example, said it would cost him $20 million per year to continue running his business — money the app doesn’t make. As backlash over the changes ensued, several Reddit communities said they would go dark in protest of Reddit’s new policy.

The news of the exception to Reddit’s API pricing was first reported by The Verge, citing comments from Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt.
