I'd be happy with reliable API access that doesn't 429 all the time.

Yeah, good thing they backed down on one of the least important issues.
It's also one that brings them more money, what a coincidence. But no, i'm sure they did it for the community and their love for awards.

They will never ever be back, because limiting user interaction to API requests hinders ~~privacy invading data farming~~ telemetry and ~~allows users to block ads~~ limits access to reddit's newest features.

At this point I'd settle for a working app. The only reason I switched to a third-party reddit app is because the main app loads slowly and crashes frequently. A lot of people also used third-party apps due to lack of accessibility options on the main app. If reddit figured out how to make a working app, there wouldn't be a demand for alternatives.

Can you imagine, they made the API expensive so that they could sell it to AI companies, and look how it ended up (Google AI overview).
At least make something good if you're going to take our rights away
