MODERATORS
Plus AI companies can just scrape reddit without using the API. It's still a website after all.
They want the timing of how long a user looks at something. They can't scrape that from third party apps.
Yes you can. PC emulation of apps is common.
I highly doubt Reddit is gonna shut down their website.
I saw a post saying they were testing restricting mobile access to only through the app.
If the data is that important to them that they kill the site, then they're more dumb than I think. Apps can be scraped too. It isn't even difficult.
