Just got a big blue headline on old.reddit.com, trying to negotiate their way out of the modtool API debacle. Anyone know the request rate of modtools? I can't imagine a 60->100 query per minute increase is substantial
Especially because that's basically a lie. The free tier right now is 60 requests per minute, per client, per user. The new free tier is 100 requests per minute per client. If for example you develop a bot or tool and you'd like to give others access to use for their own purposes you're now sharing those 100 requests per minute with everyone else using it.
I also really hate this.
Literally freeloading of the work of developers for their mod tooling.
How incredibly tone deaf can one be.
Crying that 3rd party apps make money and the time of "freeloading" is over only to try to literally freeload on the applications of 3rd parties.
Reddit can still and again just fudge off.
