My point wasn't that scraping reddit is not a violation of the ToS, it was that you're not able to legally enforce the terms of the ToS (that you have quoted in your reply) on people who haven't agreed/consented to them (which they do by logging in).

- tlonny 3y ago> The submitters have given reddit a sublicense to publish their content, not random 3rd parties. This is tangential no? Third party reddit apps _already_ republish end user content. I'm not saying third party apps powered by scraping are not illegal, I'm saying they're _no more_ illegal than those powered by the official reddit API.
