Reddit says that developers who make non-commercial accessibility apps that make use of the online forum's API services will now get "exemptions from our large-scale pricing terms."

    that’s not true. There are open source 3rd-parties like Infinity that are non-commercial.

        The developer hasn’t said Infinity’s being killed afaik, he appears to be considering having users enter their own Reddit API keys, although really that’s going to be a barrier for some

        This isn’t a viable solution in my opinion though, depending on whatever restrictions Reddit chooses. Atm we know the new API won’t allow access to NSFW labelled content, but there could be other limitations coming when users start plugging their own keys into apps

          Thanks, I have no idea what “entering your own API key” even means, so yeah, definitely a barrier for me
