The funniest thing is that reddit is so shitty that they created all this caos and didn't even meet the deadline!! 3rd party apps are still working because they fail to enforce the changes! aka they were bluffing! Reddit is a shit show omg

    Third party apps that are still working are most likely going to get hit with a bill on August 1st they were not prepared for. Reddit knows which applications are using the API keys so they know where to send the bill. But the changes took effect on July 1st. The apps that shut down before the first did so because the developer killed their API key so they wouldn't occur any charges.

    My understanding is that the new API required a new key to use. But the old keys have not been blocked.

    I am sure a good contract lawyer would have a field day if reddit tried to charge 3rd parties for themselves not doing the job of cutting off access.
