Current outages and problems for Reddit. Is the site down or not working properly? We show what is going on.

Wasn’t one of the excuses they used for removing 3rd party API usage was the clients were inefficient and resource intensive?

Well, now it’s just their own official client, and yet the server is still down, so…

    I thought 3rd party apps were still allowed, the just pay for usage and there was ways to spoof the api as well?

    When did that change?

      The announced pricing is prohibitively expensive for apps that were previously free (and changes were basically immediate instead of giving apps a year to make changes).

      And Reddit announced that NSFW results would not be returned by the API (which basically renders apps useless for many users)

        And of course many subs use the NSFW flag for spoilers too, so you could really be missing out on a lot. On r/StarCraft they use the NSFW tag for recent tournament results, which is like the main thing I would want to discuss on there lol

      They didn’t stop allowing 3rd party app usage per se, they just priced it so absurdly high that they all had to stop operating or get multimillion dollar invoices.
      …Which is technically just killing 3rd party apps, thinly disguised under a layer of potential profit. Pretty standard soulless corporate practice.
