View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
Reddit will limit access to mature content via our Data API as part of an ongoing effort to provide guardrails to how sexually explicit content and communities on Reddit are discovered and viewed.
What does this mean for third party apps where users either view or submit NSFW content? In what ways *specifically* are you going to “limit access?”
What alternatives are available for third parties who want to provide support for this content in their apps?

Yeah they need to answer this. If they mean limit in the sense of limiting volume and frequency of access to prevent scraping by bots, great. NSFW subreddits might even prefer that. If they mean limit in the sense of block, Reddit just tumblr'd itself.

They will be blocked. No alternatives.
