Wide op for ai scraping and nothing are not the only two options. They could easily limit api calls to what would be good for single users or mods and have each user generate their own key. Apps could let users input their key. Most users wouldn't bother and would switch to their app anyway so it would get them 95% or what they claim to want without being a dick about it.
Plus AI companies can just scrape reddit without using the API. It's still a website after all.
I highly doubt Reddit is gonna shut down their website.
I saw a post saying they were testing restricting mobile access to only through the app.
Oh yeah, they’ve done that already. I don’t think they’ll extend that to actual web tho
