    They have the same problem with “moderator-focused tools.” Lots of third party tools are useful for moderation, but aren’t necessarily composed only of moderator-specific functions. Analysis of what public activity a specific user has engaged in, like where they’re active and what kinds of comments they tend to make, are helpful for moderators to decide how to handle a report that a particular user is a serial harasser, a troll, a spammer, or a bot.

    So which tools get an exemption from the API fees/rate limits, if they’re useful for both moderation and just plain old people watching?
