Our API allows free access to moderators and developers creating these tools for non-commercial use cases.

They had already committed to avoiding disruptions to bots, they aren't backing off on the apps.

Yeah the non-commercial part just destroys the entire announcement. Mods could just use a community made bot that they bought for like $5 and be done with it.

Since this will be now against the ToS, no one will be bothered to develop these tools for free, to move around.

This is a worthless post.
