How would this update affect bots specifically made to mod NSFW subreddits, like u/HentaiSauce_Bot or u/HSpamSlayer?
​
The post mentions mature content being made more difficult to access using the Data API, and someone else in the thread pointed out that its mostly relating to image scraping.
u/HentaiSauce_bot works by taking the image URL to paste into a different website that was built to find image sources, then commenting that info under the post it grabbed the URL from. Would this no longer be allowed under the new terms?

3 weeks ago, Reddit announced they were getting rid of i.reddit/compact reddit. Now we know why. Removing the only mobile browser alternatives.
They removed it right before giving people a reason to use it.
I only just found after trying to visit i.reddit as a result of this api announcement.
Systematically knee-capping any alternatives to the craptastic offical Reddit app.
Enshittification is real.
Spread the word. Start the backlash. Make Reddit pull a full reversal. No compromises.

I've genuinely never seen you guys make a good decision. I can't wait for Digg 2.0

I love how you're trying to kill off reddit. Give us our free time back from before we spent it scrolling through!

The day you kill 3rd party apps and NSFW is the day Reddit dies. If you're so stupid to pull a tumblr 2.0 then please by all means give me more time to enjoy my day then continue to use this dying website.

This is blatantly aimed to prevent use of third party foss apps. This is unwanted and uneeded.

but the team and I will continue to monitor in this thread.
Unless you're blind you have by now seen – in the countless discussions all over reddit – that this is a terrible idea.
Will you still go along with it?

since when has reddit ever made good on its promises to make the new shiny thing just as good or better than what already worked? you're already working a bunch of volunteer mods to death, now you're removing their working tools and maybe, MAYBE giving them some fisher-price ones that don't work (though more likely, as usual, you will talk a big game and not even give them that), then go on cashing checks built on your exploitation of free labor

It's pathetic that you aren't happy with people just using reddit. They *have* to use it *your way* with *your* app or else.
It's fucking pathetic and embarrassing and you should feel pathetic and embarrassed.
We're all embarrassed for you, and waiting for you to catch up.

Please don’t mess with third party apps! I’ve been a Reddit user for years and I love Narwhal :(
I think I’d quit if forced to use your interface, it’s just not as good.

You're trying to destroy third party apps. We're not going to switch to the default app, we're just gonna not use reddit.
Destroying third party apps is the stupidest thing you could possibly do to your users and you're too braindead to realize it. You're killing your platform. Grow up.

You are completely divorced from reality if you think this is a good move for reddit. Like many others, I'll be permanently leaving the site if the changes go through unamended.

If there was an actual alternative to third party applications. If there was an official client that was also useful and brilliant. If the desktop web site was functional I would actually give all of it a try. But there are no alternatives. And that is also the reason why third party applications are so great: the official app and web interface are both so easy to do better.
How do Reddit expect users to go from limousine to crap? Did you guys seriously never thought about this? You’re practically leaving us with a bag of dirt and a pile of shit and asks us to use it to navigate. I am definitely not doing that. Reddit is not that important.
So long and thanks for all the fish. Nine years.

Hello, RIF user here. I don't see many responses here from mods but I can honestly say I have been mostly a lurker through RIF for many years and this is my primary way of viewing reddit. I prefer RIF due to how they format there posts and not the main Reddit site. I honestly feel bad when people I send links to have to go through the main website. I also feel that by doing what is happening will take away from what Reddit stood for.
I know this will be lost in the comments and will never be seen but I don't use any other social media platform other than Reddit due to what they originally stood for. But needless to say if the 3rd party apps go away and so will I. I honestly hate typing this for so many areas of knowledge, fun, laughter, information, and just general communication I see. But I refuse to support companies that have lost touch with made them what they are.
I would rather see the company implode and revert back to what made them successful than force this upon all of us. I very rarely would Comment around something but silence is acceptance and I hope a lone and quiet voice may grant a light in this darkness. Appoligues as always due to mobile

Hey Keyser! I want you to know that this is going to end poorly.
Reddit for moderation is absolutely unusable in the official app, and ending third party apps is ending moderation.
