The reddit API is paid now. What do you think all the fuss is about? From the limited digging I have done, new reddit does not use an API (in the typical sense, it returns components to the client side with the content, so things are prerendered).
The Reddit API is free if below a certain threshold, and paid for a certain higher amount. Spez was trying to be misleading and claimed 90% of apps wouldn’t be affected but he was including every homebrew app etc. The fuss was that all popular apps would shut down, and low popularity apps negotiated a deal. Point is that a web app is still possible, using APIs until it hits the limits. You could try to scrape comments but that would get blocked by bot filters probably quickly.
