The problem goes away if the apps charge for a subscription, which covers their API access.
- graftak 3y agoThis could have been solved by only allowing Reddit premium users to make use of the API (they don’t see ads). in addition, the API cost is about 20 times more lucrative than a user seeing ads, which is an insane upsell. Then there’s the issue that Reddit won’t allow NSFW content over the API, which is just total BS in the picture you drew.
