View submission: An Update Regarding Reddit’s API
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?

The main concern I have with NSFW subreddits is that illegal content will be posted more often.
They're doing the same thing they did with sorts. Put it behind enough walls, people will stop using it, and then they can justify removing the feature entirely.
Put custom mods behind walls so nobody uses it, no use = no need to keep it.
