Reddit changed their minds, do a half step back - RIF can access Reddit but doesn't accept login (self.redditwasfun)

Seems that someone at Reddit decided to grant read access to RIF, this morning I opened the app just for kicks and it wouldn't load anything. Well I tried again after lunch (Europe CET time) and it could access the front page but I was logged out. Trying to login shows a different logon page and even with valid credentials gives out a 'Bad request' response.

That means they are not just feeling the heat, they are probably burning really bad.

Nah. Absolutely fuck Reddit. I paid for RiF, I'm happy with my contribution. Used it for 12 years. Sadly removed it from my home screen this morning when I saw it was over.

I absolutely refuse to provide reddit traffic, even if it does now show content. If the reason it's showing content is really due to reddit backpedalling, then fuck them, because they're ONLY doing it now that it's affected them. A little late for that.

I'll return to reddit only if they reverse this API shit, and if spez gets the boot. Until then, I'm done.
