Not sure how that will affect libreddit or teddit. That’d would prevent me to get some news on specific channels, which when interesting enough, I brought to lemmy, :)
Reddit Wants to Get Paid for Helping to Teach Big A.I. Systems
It begins. Not too long a step until they start charging app developers and various clients for usage. If the goal is to funnel people to using only their official apps, like twitter, fb, and instagram do, they need to start this as a first step.
Nitter + commafeed’s pretty great for twitter
They would need to make their webpage only accessible with a login, or try to obfuscate it as hard as Instagram does, otherwise 3rd-party devs will scrape that. And that would hurt their discoverability massively.
I mean, it does have the same self-destructive energy as closing up your API, so I’m not saying they won’t do it, but it would be stupid.
