Their pricing is just absurd. Reddit's official app and webpage is garbage, and instead of working with amazing developers like Christian to add whatever functionality they need to increase their revenue, they're doubling down on bad decisions and alienating their users. Pure hubris... they've forgotten their own history and why the Digg exodus happened.

Seriously, _what_ are they gaining by eliminating access to third-party clients? If they want usage data, they already have all the API calls. If they want more ads, they can change the APIs to inject them.

They don't want people training LLMs with their data without paying for it. Blame the AI bros for stealing all their data.

But I wonder if they really fulfil this goal. How do they solve the unsolved problem of allowing scraping / SEO (Google, Bing etc.) but not teaching their LLMs?

It's obvious or an open secret that Alphabet/Google and Microsoft will use their web copy for teaching their AI.
