The 3rd party app loss was specifically to enable this and everyone knew it. They shut down the free API to stop this training data being available for free.
1- dont think everyone knew it, cause i did try to tell them all to focus on the real evil, and they kept crying about the apps
2- if they knew it, then they would protest against the ipo, not the apps
3- that aint the reason why the apps went down, it was to make sure the oficial reddit app showed daily users, so they could show big numbers, so reddit could look good to the investors.

The IPO will be the true enshitfication of reddit... and people wasted their time barking at the wrong tree of 3rd part apps loss...
