Now that the dust has settled, what went wrong with saving 3rd party apps? (i.ibb.co)

Third party apps still seem to work still, just logging in is broken on some. Not sure if reddit just "forgot" to disable anyonymous access or if they realized doing so would probably result in DDOSing themselves like twitter did.

Some apps were updated to avoid using the API for anonymous access, instead relying on RSS/JSON + scrapping.

Wow. Yeah... Mine still works. Haven't tried it in weeks, but it works. That's nuts...
