I accidentally posted this outside the megathread — reposting here to help make life easier for the mods:

Reddit attempting to offer free API usage for moderator tools (but not 3rd Party Apps)
They’ve now added that “non-commercial” qualifier to accessibility apps and mod tools. So they’re totally cool with 3rd parties adding value to their platform. As long as all of the revenue resulting from that unpaid work goes straight to Reddit.
This is now going to end up costing them more money cause they’ll have to police the usage of thier api with all these exceptions lol
Well not necessarily, you just give the mod tools a different api to use. It’d be simple, but you’d still be restricting some stuff for api tools
