Tbh everyone just needs to leave reddit
Let the bots take over
It's always been Stormfront 2.0 anyway
Fuck reddit
Yes, at this point, there is really no fucking saving it or hoping for changes, they will go as far as they need to go to get their profits back up. It must be abandoned. The only time I ever spend on reddit is to convince people to migrate to kbin or lemmy (nicely, dont be annoying)
Ironically this API issue will kill bots, which was needed.
It will only slow them temporarily you don't need api for bots
Yeah, it'll only kill the useful ones in the long run.
Yeah. The unethical bots will just use scrapers, as they already do for the many websites that don't offer APIs. They're already violating ToS, so they don't care. Ethical ones won't have that option (at least not past the fairly low quota).
