No more teddit?
Teddit might be scraping the public site, so it would be okay. But any apps that use the API will have to have the developer pay thousands of dollars to keep API access. Its the first step before closing off the API entirely like twitter did.
Teddit and similar apps actually use the “anonymous” API, so once this API change comes in, those apps are basically dead without rewrites. Some ideas coming up are full page scraping (would require a lot of new coding and new issues like rate limits and etc), RSS scraping (would not be as complete information wise).
Those projects are great, and its sad that its ultimately up to the whims of some evil company to waste the hundreds of hours they spent building those apps.
Yeah, I’m often thankful to people building these frontends, because ultimately a lot of human information is in those corporate silos and accessing them via a frontend is better than directly.
But at the same time, I would never build such a frontend myself, for the reason you mentioned.
All it takes, is a bunch of profiteering dickwad investors, to make your efforts go poof.
