It's crazy hearing how nonresponsive the reddit team has been to 3rd party devs.

Especially the constant "oops our bad plz reach out again this time we'll respond we promise :)" bullshit.

They really seem like they made the decision internally to force everyone into their own app and kill off as many third party apps as possible, presumably for data collection/analytics. That would explain why they're quietly ignoring third party app devs and other alternative solutions (like the paid user API key solution discussed elsewhere).
