Not sure how that will affect libreddit or teddit. That’d would prevent me to get some news on specific channels, which when interesting enough, I brought to lemmy, :)
Reddit Wants to Get Paid for Helping to Teach Big A.I. Systems
I used to think projects like Nitter or NewPipe were a bit overzealous, scraping the webpage or using the webpage’s API rather than the official API, but it’s starting to look like simply less of a pain in the butt. 🙃
get bit too many times and you start wearing gloves.
Yeah, I just could not imagine a scenario where these companies would close up their API. You don’t offer an API as a service toward others. You offer it, so 3rd party devs don’t scrape your webpage, which is not an ‘API’ you want to keep stable. It’s a service toward your own devs.
