Imagine you use an unauthorised client and you post a lot of thoughtful content. Really pouring your heart and soul into that account. And then one day a few months from now, boom u/spez (CEO of Reddit) has another genius business insight for the direction he wants to take Reddit. Next day they’ve banned the accounts of everyone who’s been found to be using unauthorised clients.
Better to stay logged out if you’re gonna browse with an unauthorised client.
Besides, the client could keep a list of subreddits you like anyway, and retrieve posts from those instead of from the default front page.
Worst reddit can do then is to IP ban you bat at least they won’t be deleting anything that you’ve been spending time to write.
