They could have even made a profit from third party apps if the pricing wasn’t 100x a reasonable rate.

For Reddit API calls are near infinitely less load on the servers than scraping.
Art and humour are inevitable consequences of sentient animals having the capability to create them.
I think of it like squares and rectangles. Everything created by humans is natural, but only a fraction of natural things are created by humans.
There is a natural progression from some particles colliding at the beginning of the universe all the way to low effort memes being posted on Lemmy.
I meant that existence is nature. Following from that, anything which exists is nature or natural.
I would say all language are natural. Even mathematics.
Used Apollo before. Now I’m on wefwef and it literally feels like nothing changed lmao.
Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.
The average person is just as unlikely as ever to understand the processed behind the tools (conputers) they use. But the nerdy kids of each generation have more access to knowledge that lets them nerd out even harder. And the connectivity of the internet gets ideas shared easily. If someone is interested in a hobby these days they have a knowledge base that only the most dedicated nerds had back in the day.

That’s great. Using a mobile browser is a terrible experience. At least it’s functional though.
When using the API you just request what you’re looking for. With scraping you load everything repeatedly.
