View submission: Considering the sweeping (and unpopular) changes being made over on the official app, how long do you realistically expect reddit to continue allowing third party apps to have API access?

ITT: a bunch of people who have never written a line of code in their lives. no, reddit will not be turning off api access. if they do, please @ me in this exact comment and I will *gladly* delete my account. this is not a thing that large corporations who have already committed to a public API interface do - public or not, moderated or not, corrupt or not, etc.

They'll just charge $20 million/yr for an API that used to be free. It's not technically turning off API access but practically it's pretty close
