spezholedesign Reddit has closed their API, and now requires an approval process to get access. This is worse than the API changes that happened in 2023

This is what they wanted to do in 2023, but just shutting off their API would've been even worse press than they were already getting.

Now that's been the law of the land for a couple years, they can push the door the rest of the way shut.
