Considering the Reddit API has a hilariously low limit, I fully understand why the AI bro's will use a scraping approach instead. I've built small discord bots that had a difficult time following the API because you had so little Requests available! I was in the process of building an event-driven system which used multiple API tokens in order to be able to keep up with multiple feeds. Its just terrible.
