Interesting theory for what might have been another motivation behind the API changes. After all, Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is a member of the Reddit board. What do you think?

I don’t get it, it’s not like Reddit is a hard website to crawl without an API. I can write a script to crawl a website in an afternoon with something like Selenium, and they can’t stop me. AI companies already have a big enough dataset from Reddit, I doubt they’ll invest in the API at all.
