On July 1st, a [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) will come into effect. [Several developers](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/144gmfq/rif_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023_in_response_to/) of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least [one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app](https://www.reddit.com/r/DystopiaForReddit/comments/145e9sk/update_dystopia_will_continue_operating_for_free/) will continue to be available free of charge.
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. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium
as a way to voice your protest.

Bitcoin Core is written in C++ and is worth looking at. In terms of robustness and quality it's really hard to match. Ignore whatever ideas you have about Bitcoin itself and simply consider that the network has undergone several upgrades in the last 10 years with absolute zero glitches. That is 100% uptime and reliability. How many other projects do you know that can claim the same? (A bug early on forced an interruption in functionality and the overall uptime for the network is, as of this writing, ~99.9985%. Still impressive.)
Thanks for the recommendation, C++ is one of the languages I wanted to return to, because I haven't been using it actively in the last couple of years.
