An Update regarding Reddit's API (www.reddit.com)

Seems like API access will become monetized (like Twitter did it). This will probably kill off most third party apps if users are forced into subscriptions (see for example statement from Apollo)

will this have effect on teddit.net or libreddit.eu.org?

Seems like both teddit and libreddit make use of the API, so probably yes. Maybe they will start scraping like NewPipe and Piped do.

oh no - i really hoped they do so already.

Damn it lol. I was hoping to switch to those immediately after the change. Hope they switch to scraping.
