I think it's important to look at the background around the API changes too.
This is all starting because ChatGPT acknowledged that they heavily relied on Reddit's API in 2021 to train it's ChatGPT systems. That flood of requests is what kicked all this off.
Now it's just punitive response tactics against any who are relying on the API to run their app or whatever else.
ChatGPT was even asked how they felt about the new API costs, and if they'd pay it, and they said they don't even use Reddit any more as they already scraped all the information they needed.
If spez and Reddit wanted to stop this, they should have cut the head off the snake 2 years ago, but they chose not to, and instead are now punishing everyone else as a result.
