I’m still in the process of moving old saves off my Reddit account and found this gem today. Reddit HQ is coping hardcore, I can’t image regular users actually care about this.

    I see this on the account I got my API keys out of, but not in the others, so I think it’s directed to us who use personal bots for whatever reason.

    Doesn’t really make it less pathetic though. Every time I see that, I just laugh and let Shreddit run thrice a day as a fuck you (until June 29, ofc. I don’t want to Steve Huffman go all huffy on me, lol!)

      I’ve never made a Reddit bot (or used one for that matter) or requested an API key though, so I’m not sure what triggered it for me.

        Damn, they might really be getting desperate putting their word out there.

        Have you ever been a mod? I was made mod in a subreddit long time ago, but i left it. I also got modinfo from reddit from time to time so i figured thats what it was that caused me to see this

        Maybe you look like an advertiser. Or investor.

        Could be. Damn, they’re really getting desperate, huh?

        If you used a 3rd party app, there is an api key in your account.

            Yes, but they need also a key from your account. That’s the way the keep you logged in.

            The app key is to authenticate the app, the api key is for authentication

              The user is given an OAuth token which is different to an API Key.
