Make the API compatible with Reddit's and you'll have a bunch of third-party clients starting on day one!

This is why I've been so curious as to exactly what Reddit is really trying to do with this api change. If the point of Reddit is to consume content then the content itself (and the amount of it consumed) is really their business model so all actions should support that vs. getting people to arbitrarily be on their site. If your business is content, it shouldn't matter if it's a third-party app or if it's on your main site. I just cannot figure out the long-term logic behind this move (ofc short-term it's about $$ and their IPO but this'll hurt their model in the long-run)
