It was one of those few 3rd party Apps that still worked. Apparently dev was in talks with Reddit in obtaining Paid-API-Access, but now they cut off his API-Access mid talks without informing him

      It’s telling that they got angry about the recording being released more than anything.

      Before this went down, Christian and other app developers had nothing but great things to say about Reddit, especially regarding their communication regarding upcoming changes that could break their third-party apps, so I’m not buying the “We didn’t know they were using the API to download all of Reddit!” argument at all. There are a few YouTubers making that argument as well, that Reddit didn’t know app developers were making third party apps and the API wasn’t intended for it.
