View submission: API Updates & Questions
This announcement addresses none of the actual issues. The fact alone that Reddit is making these drastic changes to an API they’ve been supporting for many years, with only **one month** notice, is extremely disrupting to anything interacting with it.
Reddit is not being accomodating towards third party app developers to any extent, and is now doubling down on their ridiculous new policy and pricing options.
Oh, and they’re also still limiting API access to third party apps, including removing access to all NSFW sexually explicit subreddits. But I guess that’s a moot point when third party apps are being killed off anyway.
And their official app still sucks.

Closer to 2 months, but they didn't have the specifics for the first announcement because they didn't even know. Also sounds like there wasn't any mod council or developer conversations before the initial announcement in late March, either.
