As most of you are aware, Reddit is going dark for 48 hours due to 3rd party apps shutting down June 30th due to API fees increasing. While the mods of r/stocks agreed to a 3 day blackout based on this poll, it will be 48 hours total, from 10am eastern June 12th to 10am eastern June 14th.
Why join the protest at 10am? Because the stock market opens up at 9:30am eastern and we want users who are accustomed to visiting r/stocks sometime to know what's happening with the stock market & the protest as some apps (mobile web too) don't properly show the private message we have prepared.
While r/stocks is private: You won't be able to access old posts or wiki pages!

Economic calendar:
- Jun 13th 8:30am eastern – CPI report: Expected 5.6%
- Jun 14th 2pm – FED interest rate decision: Expected no change
- Jun 14th 2:30pm – FOMC press conference
PS When we come back Jun 14th at 10am Eastern, we're not ruling out another poll to see if the community wants to extend the blackout further if Reddit hasn't reduced their API fees to prevent Apollo/RIF from shutting down.
